Our Culture

Initiatives 

International Women’s Day

At ECA, we honor and appreciate the amazing staff of women who contribute daily to our success and progress. International Women’s Day is the perfect opportunity to express our gratitude and celebrate the achievements made by women in all areas of life, whether it be social, economic, cultural, or political.

This year’s global campaign theme, #EmbraceEquity, resonates deeply with ECA’s commitment to fostering an inclusive atmosphere that champions equality. To commemorate the day, we planned a panel discussion where our community can come together and share their perspectives on the challenges and victories that women face.

Additionally, we were thrilled to announce the official launch of our Women in IT and Engineering Scholarship, which will encourage and support young women to fulfill their dreams in these fields.

Let’s make this year’s International Women’s Day a truly memorable celebration of achievement and progress towards a more equitable future.

Sydney Mardi Gras

At ECA, we pride ourselves on our commitment to celebrating diversity and promoting inclusion. Our long-standing support of the LGBTQI+ community is just one way we live up to this ethos. Each year, we celebrate Sydney Mardi Gras with our staff event and hope to be a part of the many marching groups and floats in the future. This celebration is just one example of how we appreciate and support the achievements communities that have been marginalized for far too long. In addition to Mardi Gras, we also recognize International Women’s Day and other events that represent our commitment to equity and equality. We are confident in our dedication to supporting the development of the LGBTQI+ movement and will continue to raise our voice to highlight social injustices while providing support to our students, partners, and ECA community year-round.

Appreciation of our Partners

At ECA, we believe in establishing strong relationships with our most valued partners – the education agents. Without their hard work and dedication, we would not be able to recruit so many international students. That’s why we always make sure to show our appreciation by organising exciting events such as webinars, info sessions, breakfast events, and even agent parties. Our goal is to make sure that our education agents feel valued and supported every step of the way. Looking back at the past year, we have had some amazing events, and we can’t wait to plan more in the near future. Stay tuned for the updates on our next events that are sure to impress!

Appreciation of our Students

At ECA, we pride ourselves on the care and attention we give to our international and domestic students. We know how tough it can be to pursue education and a career in a foreign country, so we appreciate the dedication and hard work our students show every day. That’s why we work tirelessly with our partners–universities, ECA colleges, ELSIS, and Professional Year programs–to make sure their transition is as smooth as silk. And when our students succeed, we love to celebrate them! Our managed campuses hold a variety of informal and formal events throughout the year to recognize the achievements of our international students. From awards ceremonies to social mixers, we’re always on the lookout for ways to show our appreciation for the amazing journey our students are on. Check out the highlights of the past year and see what all the fuss was about!
