The global Navitas Neurodiversity Network (NDN) was shortlisted for the Championing Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Award.
It has been 18 months since since the launch of our first-ever global neurodiversity network at Navitas. The Navitas Neurodiversity Network (NDN) is a vibrant hub for neurodivergent colleagues across Navitas; its members include those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, OCD, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, and more. The group provides a safe and confidential space to explore neurodiversity, while also welcoming allies and individuals still exploring their neurotypes. The group also provides meeting options for more private discussions where neurodivergents can speak to colleagues with similar traits.
The global Data & Analytics team were shortlisted for the Excellence in Data and Insight Award.
The team has been recognised for their work on the ‘Likelihood of Enrolment via Application Prediction, Australia’ project. In 2024, the team developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) solution to predict enrolment conversion probability which enhanced sales and marketing strategies by focusing on early recruitment stages. The data platform now includes early top-of-funnel Marketo data which strengthens AI prediction and reporting capabilities.
The team at La Trobe College Australia (LTCA) were shortlisted for the Language training provider of the year award – for a second year in a row!
This recognition celebrates the continued evolution of their LTX (La Trobe Experience) program which reimagines the traditional study tour as a transformative, career-focused academic journey. LTX offers contextualised English language learning aligned with students’ future professions, through discipline-specific workshops, research lab access, university faculty engagement, and cultural immersion. This finalist placement is a testament to the team’s commitment to innovation, student experience, and global engagement.
Every year, The Pie News holds its signature event, The PIEoneer Awards, that honours innovation in the global education sector and recognises both individuals and organisations who are pushing professional standards, evolving their engagement or redefining the international student experience.
