Welcome to the GTI
What is the GTI?
The Global Training Initiative (GTI) at North Carolina State University enhances international partnerships between NC State students and faculty, businesses in North Carolina, and people around the world through numerous short-term international programs.
The GTI opens new doors for this to happen through its certificate, study, research, and internship programs. Programs range from 2 week professional training programs to 12 month long research opportunities. The GTI is currently offering:
- 2 certificates in US Culture and Education for international students who want to spend one semester at NC State doing either full-time study or half-time study and half-time research,
- 2-12 month long undergraduate and graduate level research options, and
- 2-12 month long undergraduate internship opportunities for overseas international students.
The GTI also provides turnkey training solutions or partners with NC State units or NC businesses on international grants and short-term professional training programs.
Who is the GTI for?
The GTI is open to international students (at either the undergraduate or graduate level), current NC State students, NC State faculty and working professionals.
International students should 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.
In partnership with the Cooperative Education program 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.
