The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the IIE are pleased to announce the EducationUSA Training Institute: Essentials of Advising will take place in the winter of 2016. The EducationUSA Training Institute is an intensive training and professional development program designed to provide EducationUSA Advisers with the knowledge and skills needed to enhance their effectiveness and build professional competency. Each 2-week EducationUSA Training Institute is comprised of a Washington, DC-based workshop and an on-campus training element. 

Accredited U.S. higher education institutions are invited to submit proposals to host the on-campus portion of the Training Institute, January 31–February 6, 2016. This program will provide advisers with foundational knowledge of key topics including: structure and diversity of the U.S. higher education system; international student admissions and financial aid procedures; and an introduction to resources available to support advisers in their work. 

 

Request for Proposal: Groups of accredited U.S. higher education institutions are invited to submit proposals to host the on-campus portion of the EducationUSA Training Institute program.

 

In close collaboration with EducationUSA staff, host campuses will design and carry out the on-campus portion of the training program. Campus responsibilities include securing faculty and staff to deliver training sessions, providing on-campus meeting space and other facilities, and arranging program logistics.
