Global Education and Training Programs

The Global Training Initiative at NC State University develops customized short-term education and training programs for students and professionals from across the globe by harnessing the resources available at the university. More than 13,000 participants have completed GTI programs in the last two decades. We are part of NC State’s Office of Global Engagement.

Our goal is to build training platforms and partnerships that connect campus resources with community needs for global success in North Carolina and abroad.
