Peterborough’s Trent University is partnering with Edvoy, a company supporting international students, to launch the TEX Advanced Learning Centre at the university’s Durham campus in Oshawa.
Edvoy founder and CEO Sadiq Basha and Trent University president Dr. Leo Groarke signed an agreement on the joint venture February 15 in Dubai at an event hosted by ICEF, a company that provides business-to-business networking events and services for the international education sector.
Founded in 2007 at IEC Abroad, Edvoy is a free digital platform that helps thousands of international students find over 50,000 courses at more than 120 educational institutions in seven countries, apply and receive offers, and receive virtual counselling.
“We’re thrilled to be embarking on this joint venture with Trent University,” says Basha in a media release. “Edvoy aligns with quality universities, globally. Our agreement means we can both focus on what we do best — Edvoy guiding students through their application process and Trent University delivering world-class teaching.”
Trent University, the top undergraduate university in Ontario since 2010, will deliver the curriculum at the TEX Advanced Learning Centre and manage the academic programs, while Edvoy will bring hundreds of international students to the centre.
“Edvoy’s mission to serve international students with integrity is at the heart of our relationship with them,” Groarke said. “We trust that they will work to match students with the right courses and programs to meet their goals at Trent.”
For 2023, TEX Advanced Learning Centre will offer one-year postgraduate certificate courses in human resource management, marketing and entrepreneurship, business communications, and financial analytics, with two-year dual postgraduate certificate courses in human resource management and marketing and entrepreneurship and in business communications and human resource management. Applications for the May intake are now open.
