International education programs must be built in partnership to foster meaningful change

In an article for The PIE News, Vinicius Nobre (ILSC Education Group) explains that international education programs need to be built with—not just delivered to—partner organizations to be effective. Nobre explains that the global demand for workforce-aligned international education has shifted to favour experiences that result in changed thinking, stronger professional networks, and the “kind of confidence that only comes from real immersion.” To achieve this, Nobre explains how parties from both sides of international sending programs can come together to design, build, and assess these programs in a way that results in meaningful change for participants.
