Compete at scale: Consortia models and toolkit

Competing at scale is one of the six game-changing themes of AIE2025 – the long-term development roadmap for the Australian international education, skills and training sector.
 
Austrade has commissioned research from Ernst & Young to provide actionable information on the use of consortia, partnerships and collaboration to service global-scale demand for borderless and offshore education, and give Australia’s international education sector a key competitive advantage.

The research report provides comprehensive information on consortia opportunities, challenges, and pathways for Australian SMEs delivering education and training services.

The Consortia Toolkit is a step-by-step guide to using a consortium model to pursue large-scale borderless and offshore opportunities.
