Intelligent Partners, the prominent Middle East student recruitment firm, has become part of the very few and select organizations to be certified by the American International Recruitment Council, in recognition of the company's exemplary approach to recruiting international students for U.S. colleges and universities.
Following an extensive review of the company's activities, Intelligent Partners is now officially recognized as a trustworthy student recruitment partner by AIRC, a non-profit standards development organization licensed with the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission that consists of U.S. institutions.
"We are proud supporters of AIRC's attempts to certify agent practices and are delighted to be part of its certification," said Intelligent Partner's Director Sanjeev Verma at the NAFSA conference in Kansas City . "We believe the U.S. higher education institutions must embrace the concept of agents if they are to maintain their strength as the world's top destination for international students, and AIRC's pursuits go a long way to making that a reality."
Founded 3 years ago by an entrepreneur with over 17 years of experience in international education, Intelligent Partners has placed more than 1000 students from the UAE and Qatar into higher education programs last year. In January of this year, the company announced its entry and heightened focus into North America as the next step in a global expansion. The organization prides itself on being student focused by staffing more than15 professional counselors as full-time employees in two of the largest cities in the UAE and Doha, Qatar, helping students and their families find the right fit for their dream of higher education.
Intelligent Partners General Manager, Yoseph Asfaw sees the AIRC certification program as a step forward in the development of the international student recruiting industry. Says Asfaw, "Universities in Australia , Canada and the UK have benefited through the use of trusted marketing allies and there is now a growing recognition of professional practice in the United States , as evidenced by Intelligent Partners entry into the market and AIRC's setting of quality benchmarks."
