- During the University of Auckland Open Day in early March 2025, Amtrust was invited to participate in the NZCSA (University of Auckland Chinese Students and Scholars Association) exhibition area, actively engaging in campus promotion activities. By setting up a booth and interacting with students, we provided detailed information about the career training courses, public lectures, and employment guidance programs Amtrust offers, tailored specifically for international students.
- On the day of the event, we engaged with over 200 students. The atmosphere was lively, and many students expressed that they gained a clearer direction for their career planning and showed strong interest in the foundation's upcoming series of activities.
- This promotion not only raised Amtrust's visibility among the student community but also laid a solid foundation for the future promotion of our programs.

Mid-Autumn Festival Networking Event: Amtrust Brings Outreach Activities to Massey University
In mid-September 2024, the New Zealand International Student Foundation actively participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival Networking event hosted by Massey University. As one of the key participants in the event, we set up a promotional booth to introduce the foundation’s mission and the various career training and public course programs currently being offered.
Through face-to-face interactions with attending international students, we not only addressed their questions regarding job hunting and career development but also collected valuable suggestions and feedback. This outreach activity further enhanced the foundation’s visibility and influence within the student community, laying a strong foundation for the promotion of future courses and the implementation of our community projects.
