Steps to Develop a Program
Our special programs are designed to match specific needs and interests of our partners. Program development is an on-going, collaborative process with our staff and participants. Here are common steps to developing a program with us:
1. Contact Us
Grant Brewer, Assistant Director at the IEI, is available to discuss your interest in developing a program. Please email Grant (brewer4@illinois.edu) to express your interest in developing a program.
2. Discuss Details
We want to learn as much as possible about your interests, in order to make sure we will design a program to meets your participants’ training outcomes. Please identify these key program details:
- Participant status (student, professional, etc.)
- English proficiency
- Preferred dates
- Number of participants
- Forms of funding (e.g., institutional, governmental, industry, personal)
3. Design Program Plan
Once we have developed an understanding of your participants and goals, IEI will develop a customized program plan with courses and activities.
