In this episode of our continuing podcast series, ICEF’s Craig Riggs (editor of ICEF Monitor) and Martijn van de Veen (vice-president of business development) discuss the latest developments in our sector, with a focus on a new agent incentive scheme in Western Australia. They also look at the greater emphasis on affordability for students and families in planning for study abroad this year.

The duo are then joined for a feature discussion on settlement pathways for foreign graduates in the US by Bruna Canto, Managing Director for Latin America with FirstPathway Partners, and Tadeu Ferreira, a Partner with LeafLaw.
