The International Institute utilizes experiential learning techniques in its training programs. Through case studies, simulations, observational study, group discussions, lectures, and small group exercises, participants gain content knowledge and skills in applying their learning. A needs assessment at the beginning of each course allow instructors to tailor the content to meet specific participant needs. At the conclusion of the course, participants and instructors review what has been learned and develop strategies for using knowledge and skills in the actual work settings of the participants. Participants are provided the opportunity to evaluate each course, and courses are regularly reviewed and modified to incorporate this feedback into course design.
