The main one is to improve their employment prospects.<\/p>\n<p>International students are looking for high-quality, relevant curriculum and credentials that will best serve their career plans. While studying, they also seek social connections that help them to navigate local education and employment systems.<\/p>\n<p>The pandemic created chaos and uncertainty about enrolments, border closures, flight availability and quarantine requirements. Over the past two years, many international students had to put their plans on hold. They hung on to the possibility of studying and working in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s not forget, they can choose other countries that will be seeking highly educated and skilled graduates. Some have already moved on to countries where borders were open, such as Canada. These countries offered access to high-quality international education with fewer complications and greater certainty about transitioning to work visas.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-01-at-9.04.19-am.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"699\" height=\"341\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-01-at-9.04.19-am.png 699w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-01-at-9.04.19-am-250x122.png 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Their absence hit us hard<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Consider what Australia lost when so many international students were gone. In 2019, they contributed an estimated\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dese.gov.au\/australian-strategy-international-education-2021-2030\">$40.3 billion<\/a>\u00a0to the economy. International education\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dese.gov.au\/australian-strategy-international-education-2021-2030\">supported about 250,000 jobs<\/a>\u00a0in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Border closures reduced enrolments by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dese.gov.au\/australian-strategy-international-education-2021-2030\">up to 70%<\/a>\u00a0in some parts of the higher education sector.<\/p>\n<p>The financial impacts on Australian universities have been smaller than originally predicted, but the loss of billions in revenue should not be discounted. Universities were exposed to the risks of depending on a never-ending flow of new international students and their tuition fees. The pandemic\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/after-2-years-of-covid-how-bad-has-it-really-been-for-university-finances-and-staff-172405\">impacts on university finances<\/a>\u00a0led to the loss of as many as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/after-2-years-of-covid-how-bad-has-it-really-been-for-university-finances-and-staff-172405\">35,000 academic and professional jobs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Local communities and businesses also missed the consumer power of international students and visiting family members who purchased goods and services. Employers have struggled to find enough local workers for job vacancies that these students would fill.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Australia must extend the welcome mat<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Australian government recently\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2022-01-19\/backpackers-internatonal-students-visa-fee-rebate-covid-workers\/100765716\">announced incentives<\/a>\u00a0for international students to return soon to help overcome labour shortages and stimulate market growth. Visa fee rebates and relaxed restrictions on allowable working hours are aimed at recovery in the international student market, while filling gaps in the workforce. What remains to be seen is how well entry-level and part-time jobs in service and hospitality will translate into future employment opportunities that match these students\u2019 qualifications.<\/p>\n<p>The fall in international student numbers also meant losing key resources for intercultural learning. Although many of us are longing to travel abroad for a dose of intercultural exposure, learning at home between local and international students is a relatively untapped resource. Increasing the numbers of international and local students studying together is part of the solution identified by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dese.gov.au\/australian-strategy-international-education-2021-2030\">Australian Strategy for International Education<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Many international students will need extra\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/as-international-students-return-lets-not-return-to-the-status-quo-of-isolation-and-exploitation-173489\">support to develop social capital<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 the friendships, community contacts, mentors and networks that help to build a sense of belonging now and in the future.<\/p>\n<p>International students have been treated like commodities for higher education and the labour market. But they are people, whose choice of international education is connected to their hopes and plans after graduating.<\/p>\n<p>The global pursuit of talent will increase graduates\u2019 opportunities to decide which country they choose for education, for employment and for permanent migration. Not every international graduate will choose to stay in Australia. Fluctuating immigration policy makes it difficult to predict who will be allowed to stay and who will not.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-01-at-9.05.30-am.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"592\" height=\"583\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-01-at-9.05.30-am.png 592w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-01-at-9.05.30-am-250x246.png 250w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-01-at-9.05.30-am-50x50.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><strong>This is not a short-term issue<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Many countries, including Australia, need to attract talented graduates to make up for low birth rates, low immigration due to the pandemic and skilled worker shortages. International students are preferred immigrants because they combine experience from their home countries with experience studying and living locally.<\/p>\n<p>As international students return to Australia, the welcome mat needs to stay out longer. It matters how we support them, not only upon arrival, but throughout their academic programs and as they prepare for their future employment.<\/p>\n<p>International students invest in their education and the country where they study. We in turn need to recognise their many contributions and invest in their potential.<\/p>\n<p>The longer-term view requires strategy for supporting them as students, employees and future associates, within and beyond Australia\u2019s borders.
