Pre-Conference Workshop | Empowering Leadership: Upskilling Your Team for Student Services Success (separate registration needed)

Wednesday, March 19, 2025
8:30 AM – 12:00 PM US EST
Location: Provincial South, 2nd floor
Maintaining a skilled and prepared workforce is both an essential competency of leaders in education abroad and a persistent challenge in a highly fluid global environment. Those dedicated to direct support of student life face growing expectations of keeping their skills current as evolving student needs and issues become increasingly complex. This workshop will provide a framework for designing your own program in alignment with the Standards of Good Practice for Education Abroad. Using examples from actual training sessions, participants will emerge with an understanding of their team’s training needs, the tools to create high-quality staff training modules, and examples of specific sessions related to health, safety, and wellbeing.

Learning Objectives:

  • Analyze your organization’s student services training needs.
  • Prepare to develop tailored training programs aligned with organizational goals.
  • Review model training programs in key areas of student services, risk management, and health/safety in education abroad.
  • Identify opportunities to enhance employee performance and retention through effective training strategies.
  • Save costs by reducing reliance on external training providers.
