My name is Lydia, I’m the COO of Hti. I have been in this industry for 25 years, but for Hti, that company has been working with Navitas for around 20 years.
Navitas is an Australian company, but Navitas gradually grow into different markets like the UK, Canada and the US and Singapore. At that time, we never think we can send any students to Singapore, but now Singapore is the most popular destination for Chinese students. So at 10 – 20 years ago, no one imagined that could happen. It’s a quite successful story.
We also learn a lot from Navitas. Actually 20 years ago, Hti was a very small company and we focused on Australia, but with Navitas’ support and as Navitas grows quickly, Hti benefit from its growth – and we also recruit a lot of students.
Now HTI grow and become one of the largest players in the industry, in the markets. I would like to say we are the number one for the Navitas Dubai campus, and also we’re working with TMUIC. Also Hti send the first two students from China to TMUIC. So Navitas has always provide different solutions for Hti students.
HTI is very strong on the marketing side in China, and we are very close with the Navitas China team, we get the support from them, and they help us a lot to recruit students – and they have a very strong team in China.
So Navitas is great!
