Study Abroad Trip Training

The Madison College Center for International Education is offering training this January 11 during Convocation for all individuals interested in leading study abroad trips with students.

Any College employee leading a study abroad program is required to have participated in this health and safety training program within the last three years for international travel approval. This workshop is recommended both for those seeking to get recertified for travel approval and individuals who want to find out more and become eligible to lead student programs abroad.

The workshop will include an explanation of the travel approval process, college policies, required forms and data collection, and the role of the Center for International Education in assisting with program development and implementation. Participants will receive training in best practices in managing student health and safety in study abroad programs and minimizing liability risks to self and the college.

Note that this training includes two, two-hour sessions (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) and attendance at both sessions is required for international trip lead certification.

No pre-registration is required. See the Convocation schedule for specific room information.
