There are thousands of positions currently available worldwide, but
there are also many applicants seeking contracts as paid
professionals, interns or volunteers. Of course, the successful
applicants will be those who hold the best qualifications
certification, and experience- preferably in an international context.
Many candidates are well qualified, but lack experience or training in
applying their skills in an international context. It is the goal of
the Faculty of International Studies and Technology to bridge that
gap.
Previously established programs of International TESOL College have
been exclusively dedicated to the training and certification of
Teachers of the English Language. The new Faculty represents a
departure from this focus. Participants in its programs will be
preparing to work in their chosen professions overseas.
Graduates of the Faculty of International Studies and Technology will
accept positions, not primarily as teachers of the English language,
but as skilled English-speaking professionals who are also skilled in
communicating and interfacing with individuals who are not native
speakers of English. The goal of the Faculty of International Studies
and Technology program graduates will be to apply their professional
skills as part of a dynamic multicultural team overseas.
Participants in the programs of the Faculty of International Studies
and Technology will receive training and support to secure the type of
overseas position that is suited to their personal and professional
goals, to function both professionally and personally in an
international context, and to apply their professional knowledge and
experience effectively. Participants will also learn about the
history, culture, and economics of their chosen country.
