Welcome to the GTI
What is the GTI?
The Global Training Initiative (GTI) is a program at North Carolina State University designed to enhance international partnerships between NC State, businesses in North Carolina, and people around the world.
Often it is difficult for international students to get a visa to study in the United States, but the GTI opens new doors for this to happen through its certificate, research, and internship programs. The GTI is currently offering two certificates in US Culture and Education for international students, various research options and internship opportunities for overseas international students.
Who is the GTI for?
The GTI is open to international students who have completed at least 2 years of college or university. Participants may be undergraduate or graduate students at overseas universities. They may also have finished their degree and are considering further graduate training, want an international study abroad experience or be international faculty at a college or university overseas.
If you are a new international student at NC State the GTI 401 course is a great way to begin your time here. Check out how you can benefit from taking the course in your first semester or two at State.
The GTI also places current NC State students in overseas internships.
In addition, the GTI can facilitate or provide turnkey solutions for your company's training needs. Utilizing the vast resources of NC State we provide international training for NC businesses to make you more competitive in a global marketplace. We also provide customized training programs for faculty, government or industry leaders.
If it has to do with international study, training, research or internships give us a call to see how we can help facilitate your goals.
