About the GTI Programme
The Superdiversity Institute for Law, Policy and Business (SDI), in partnership with Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED) has launched a unique programme offering businesses an opportunity to place high-skilled international student graduates who have a degree within their businesses.
The GTI Programme can help businesses gain valuable insights into export markets, which are the home country of the international students. GTI can help businesses/ organisations innovate, adapt and access new markets.
Understanding the key demand and skill shortage industries, the Superdiversity Institute (SDI) will facilitate entry of 25 high-skilled international student graduates within NZ businesses. Businesses will be able to choose graduates from a pool of successful applicants for placement.
