International Student Analytics and Forecasting Model (ISAFM)

Produced by Illuminate Consulting Group (ICG), April 2011

The BC Council for International Education (BCCIE) has engaged the services of Illuminate Consulting Group (ICG) to help develop the International Student Analytics and Forecasting Model (ISAFM) for BC, a pilot project to accurately predict long-term international student flows to the province. Working with three public post-secondary institutions in a pilot project, the model will allow BCCIE, the province, and the pilot institutions to make strategic, long-term recruitment and policy decisions in the field of international education. Simon Fraser University, Capilano University and Okanagan College all took part in the study.
