Accelerate Your Team’s Professional Development
The International Education Professional Certificate (IEPC) is an invaluable professional development tool for senior leaders aiming to manage a diverse and global workforce effectively.
The program offers an opportunity to encourage professional development within your group - either as a shared learning experience or for individuals particularly interested in advancing their skill set.
Benefits for you and your team:
- The IEPC offers a wide variety of exercises for your team to go through and discuss scenarios that may be different for you as a supervisor versus a newcomer to the field, middle managers, or even graduate students.
- Acting as a practical “how to” reference guide, learners who proactively implement the tools and are serious about their career progression will be able to use the materials on a regular basis, from the day they enroll until long after they go through the physical online course.
- Learners receive tips and inspiration from Subject Matter Experts, leading voices in the international education field whom your team can proactively network with outside of the course.
- The IEPC acts as a practical reminder of how to intentionally incorporate NAFSA's 12 International Education Professional Competencies 2.0 into your team’s day-to-day activities and actions.
A 12-module professional development guide for your team
IEPC content is staggered and delivered in four packages consisting of three modules each. This gives your team ample time to digest the materials and reflect carefully on them before moving ahead to the next competency.
Create a learning schedule that works best for you, for example:
- With 12 modules in total, your group could focus on one each month, giving you a full year of professional development in an easy-to-follow, structured format.
- Or split your team into groups, with each one concentrating on a specific package.
Key takeaways and tools
Within each module you will find:
- Videos (with subtitles and transcripts)
- Interactive quizzes
