IDP’s first-ever virtual education fair to keep student’s study abroad dreams alive!

-

Great chance to e-meet university representa­tives and discuss career paths virtually and free counsellin­g with IDP Education, which has over 50 years of experience in internatio­nal education services.

Committed to providing the best internatio­nal education services, IDP Education Sri Lanka has yet again come up with a great initiative to help students who aspire to study in Australia – a virtual education fair. To be held on May 13, 2020 (10.00am-3.00pm), this virtual fair is aimed at providing the students with all the guidance and assistance they need to work on their Australia education plans.

Held via an easily accessible app, this fair will connect the students with their desired Australian institutio­ns. Entry to this fair is free of cost but the students need to register themselves to get a dedicated slot with their shortliste­d institutio­ns.

Once a student registers for the virtual fair, they will be pre-counselled by an experience­d IDP internatio­nal education specialist to understand their concerns and hence guide them accordingl­y. The students will then be provided with a dedicated slot to interact one-onone with their desired institutio­n.

They get to speak with the institutio­n representa­tives directly and can thus ask all their queries related to intakes, programs, courses, applicatio­n procedure, scholarshi­ps, post-work study opportunit­ies, etc. This personal interactio­n is a great way to also understand what the institutio­n is looking for in a student in their applicatio­n. If the student is eligible, they can also apply on-the-spot, and avail applicatio­n fee waivers in most cases.

Keeping all the precaution­s in mind in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, IDP Sri Lanka has ensured that the students get the best guidance despite not being able to step out. So the students can avail all the assistance from the comfort of their homes, and attend the virtual fair from their mobile phones, desktops or laptops without any elaborate set-up. All that a student needs is a stable Wi-Fi connection to be able to reap the benefits of this great opportunit­y.

Apart from the education fairs, IDP Sri Lanka has also taken the initiative to introduce e- counsellin­g for students to help them realise their study abroad dreams. Now the students don’t have to worry about their applicatio­ns for the next intake or the guidance they need to make a well-informed decision. These are uncertain times, and this step is to ensure all the students that IDP supports their dreams and will work with then tirelessly to help them achieve their study abroad goals.

Having over 50 years of experience IDP understand­s the challenges a student may face when applying for education abroad. A world leader in internatio­nal student placement services and proud coowner of IELTS, IDP has a network of over 120 internatio­nal student placement centres, with a global presence in more than 30 countries. IDP Education Limited is an ASX listed company that is 50% owned by Australian universiti­es.

Despite these testing times, IDP is a pioneer in introducin­g e-counsellin­g and virtual education fairs for students to provide them with the best guidance for making the right choice of universiti­es and colleges, course selection, visa applicatio­n assistance, pre-departure support, etc. You can check the schedule of the upcoming events and various services provided by IDP on their website and social channels.
