» 29/09/12 Italian Agent Fam Trip - participant profiles
The agents belong to medium sized agencies dealing mainly with adult students but also with juniors, both individual and groups. They are interested in gaining a wide knowledge of Australia’s education offerings for Italian students and are interested in meeting not only with stand-alone ELICOS providers, but also with colleges that work closely with organisations in other sectors, including high schools, universities and vocational colleges and those offering internship or work and study options.
Purpose
Italy is a relatively new market for Australia, but one that has shown strong growth over the last 18 months. The 2011 statistics for Italian students (across all visa types) can be downloaded from the English Australia website at:

YTD August 2012 student visa commencement data also shows that numbers of ELICOS students from Italy on student visas have grown by 61% over this eight month period. With 822 commencements YTD, Italy is now the 12th largest source country for ELICOS student visa holders this year.
