EducationUSA Training Institutes are intensive training and professional development programs that provide EducationUSA advisers with the knowledge and skills needed to enhance their effectiveness and build professional competency. Each two-week EducationUSA Training Institute is comprised of a Washington, DC-based workshop and an on-campus training element. 

The next on-campus portion of the EducationUSA Training Institute will focus on Level 1: Essentials of Advising, and will take place December 9-15, 2012. Accredited U.S. higher education institutions are invited to submit proposals to host the on-campus portion of the EducationUSA Training Institute. The deadline is September 14, 2012. 

The U.S. State Department-supported EducationUSA network actively promotes U.S. higher education around the world by offering accurate, comprehensive, and current information about colleges and universities in the United States.
