Student caps - now what?

The recent announcements of student caps for international student intakes have been devastating news for many RTOs in our sector. Understandably, the effects of the imposed caps will impact people and businesses, and many are in a state of 'now what?'.

Without diminishing the gravity of the news and its impacts in any way, this session aims to offer ideas about seeking business continuity through alternative avenues. 

Hear from experienced business coach and entrepreneur Ian Whitehouse about the possibilities of 'what now?' as we look to spark ideas and promote discussion around maintaining business viability.


This session is offered as a free live event. It is not PD so no Record of Participation will be issued.


Again, we do not underestimate the impact of the student caps on business owners and staff, and encourage anyone feeling anxious and/or distressed about the limitation to please contact professional help.
