Description
Queen's profile in the wider Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region continues to grow and the University has developed meaningful engagement with a number of key strategic recruitment partners. The SSA student population at Queen's has grown over the past 5 years, with the University first investing in a local presence in 2021 to engage with educational agents, high schools and our INTO Joint Venture partner locally and, critically, to support prospective students in their application journey. Through our In-Country Regional Manager, Queen's has maintained a market presence in Africa for a number of years. To continue to support this arrangement, Queen's requires a supplier to continue to facilitate the employment of our Regional Manager and provide payroll services through a legally registered company in Nigeria. This will enable Queen's to maintain a visible market presence in Sub-Saharan Africa market, supporting the University's wider student recruitment and international engagement objectives.
