13 How do you source work offshore? In 2008, MRWED is delivering offshore training in Tanzania, Indonesia, India and Singapore. We have approached each market differently. Here are some ideas for you to consider. 1. Connect with Australian businesses who have operations overseas. (Like Resolute in Tanzania) 2. Connect with Australian government agencies supporting offshore delivery by Australians (We work with AusAid in Indonesia) 3. Establish Agents in country who source work, market courses and generate enrolments. (We work with AusIntel in Singapore) 4. Establish a local representative (employee) in country who markets courses and participates in recruiting staff and students. 13
