So people from all walks of life are now able to pursue their goals of international education and migration to other shores in pursuit of career or betterment in life, thanks to increasing access to resources and support by Study Abroad Consultants.
In this post, I will share my perspective on these winds of change for those who are in the business [i.e. study abroad consulting firms] of helping people wanting to embark on their journeys of discovery and transformation in foreign lands.
Tech-Savvy Future For Study Abroad Consultants
You are the champions of global education and immigration trailblazers, and you are reshaping how people embark on their studying abroad dreams, helping them find new homes in the Great White North. But hold on to your hats, for the world in your industry is spinning faster than ever, and there are unforeseeable challenges creeping up almost daily – and you need to do so because in the Foreign Education Industry in India, it’s a ride worth taking!
- Globalization’s Siren Call: Our globe is becoming one small neighborhood, as people from all walks of life are seamlessly exploring foreign shores like their own backyards. Why? For one, there’s this allure of international experience, and many other reasons including the chance to sharpen their language skills, and a deep thirst for understanding diverse cultures. These are some aspects that you should include in your marketing plan.
- Information Superhighway: Thanks to the internet, the plethora of social media networks, and the magic of online resources that are almost coming in for free – your target audience is drowning in information about studying abroad and immigration dreams. So they are on a treasure hunt, and looking for the “X marks” on the road-maps for a perfect program or path to the US, UK, Canada, or Australia. Have you incorporated these spots in your marketing calendar?
- Diverse Dreams: In the good ol’ days, it was mostly the privileged few who could take flight to foreign shores and delve in the world of opportunities there. But not anymore, for a wide range of scholarships and financial aid tools are breaking those barriers, while opening doors for many more students from all backgrounds and lands across the globe. This is further fueled by the global demand for skilled workforce in the developed countries. Another big magic pot of opportunities for established study abroad consultants as well as new entrants in the field.
- Tech’s Helping Hand: For all participants in this global melee of study abroad consulting firms, technology has become the unsung hero. So your audience has a range of online courses and programs that are already bending the rules, while letting many of them study abroad from the comfort of their homes. It’s a perfect mix for those with constraints, be it work, family, or travel woes – and an opportunity for the consultants to offer what the market needs.
Demand for Study Abroad Looks Like:
So, here’s my perspective on the big opportunity for folks in the study abroad consultancy biz.
- Offer Flexibility: Students, your audience, today want choices – So more courses with options for shorter or longer study stints – their way.
- Budget-Friendly Options: The cost of studying abroad can hurt bad. So study abroad consultants find ways to make it more affordable.

- Quick and Easy Entry: Students as well as immigrants are eyeing lucrative destinations with stars in their eyes. They want their education / career consultant to offer a smoother path, and will to signup with firms that are listening.
- Entrepreneurial Dreams: Foreign governments, like in France, are putting out the welcome mat for entrepreneurs and investors, paving their way to global dream-lands. A big add on service for immigration consultancy and study abroad guidance providers.
And to engage your audience on the above needs, as study abroad consultants, you can leverage the power of engaging content – From videos, infographic, blogs, reels, articles, and emails. You can create content on topics like “A Day in the Life of an International Student in Canada” or “How to Ace Your Study Abroad Interview” or “Where Should You Study Abroad?” or “Top destinations for students or the benefits”, etc. You can use smart content frameworks that use interviews and scenic shots to captivate your audience.
