Cultural Learning Seminars
Cultural Learning Seminars are designed for organizations which routinely have new students coming from various education systems. These seminars provide crucial information about the cultural influences on education systems around the world and provide a way of bridging the gap of understanding between educators and students (and their parents!). These seminars are customized to meet the needs of any organization or institution which enrolls students who have been educated for at least some of their learning career outside the United States.
Education System Seminars
Education System Seminars are designed for organizations and institutions to enhance your staff's knowledge of global education trends, grading systems, and transcript format. These seminars are an ideal service for an institution or agency which may have experienced a recent increase in internationally educated individuals arriving in their programs, or have new staff members who are unfamiliar with the nuances of international education credentials. Each customized seminar provides an opportunity for participants to learn from and apply new skills in assessing various foreign transcripts and other documents. A quick-check education system reference document that has been created specifically for your organization can be provided with each seminar.
Staffed Credential Evaluation Advising
Exclusively for institutions and organizations serving foreign-educated individuals and their families. Our staffed advising services are an affordable and efficient resource to provide your clients and students with a personalized opportunity to understand how their previous education and training fits into the U.S. educational environment. Whether individuals are seeking skill-appropriate employment or further education, our advisors will staff your agency or institution for a contracted number of hours per month with a skilled international education systems expert who will assist your foreign-educated clientele to break down the unnecessary barriers of an unknown credential equivalency, and navigate the education landscape in the United States
