public or private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to design, administer and implement one, approximately five to six-week intensive exchange program including a virtual component and a minimum of three weeks of programming in the United States.

The program is designed for foreign participants, including institutional administrators and government officials, with significant responsibilities related to post-secondary vocational and technical education in selected countries.

The program will examine the key tenets of community college administration and cutting-edge programs at U. S. community colleges that address local educational and workforce development needs.

In support of U. S. foreign policy, the program will build participant skills in community college administration in key areas including, but not limited to, workforce development, leadership, governance, student affairs and student services, program assessment, finance and fundraising, private sector partnerships, community engagement, and distance learning.

The successful applicant will provide responsive and flexible programming and exhibit an ability to tailor activities to selected countries’ priorities for vocational and technical education and workforce development that leads to measurable institutional and broader positive change in the sector.

ECA, in consultation with the Department’s regional bureaus, embassies/consulates and/or Fulbright Commissions, will select the final participating country or countries to reflect current foreign policy priorities.
