2013 LEADERSHIP, MANAGEMENT AND NEGOTIATIONS IN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Overview

This seminar offers an exciting opportunity for personal and professional development, and consists of a combination of two courses: Leadership and Management in International Development; and Negotiations in International Development. Participants in this course will receive one certificate indicating completion of the whole program, rather than two one week course certificates. To see descriptions of the topical areas covered, please refer to the two previous descriptions in this booklet. In addition, the participants who enroll in this two week combination seminar will have more opportunities to network, also for site visits and can take part in the optional weekend sightseeing tour of Washington offered to participants who attend seminars lasting two weeks or longer at the ILI.
