Week 39 – March 27, 2023
WHAT IS A GLOBAL GRANT FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINING?
Vocational training teams are groups of professionals who travel to another
country, either to learn more about their profession or to teach local
professionals more about it.
The Rotary Foundation funds some vocational training teams in our areas of focus through global grants. This training is often carried out in conjunction with a humanitarian project.
A team should include at least three people. The team leader needs to be a
Rotary member, while the other participants can be members or nonmembers
who have experience in the area of focus.
Rotary previously had a program called Group Study Exchange, which
promoted international understanding and offered person to person
opportunities for participants to learn how their vocation was practiced in
other countries. It was phased out whe n we updated our grant model and
placed this activity within global grants.
Think about whether you could join a vocational training team, or
know a nonmember who could participate.
Week 40 – April 3, 2023 WORDS FROM A VOCATIONAL TRAINING TEAM PARTICIPANT “With a [vocational training team], you also develop professional relationships between skilled individuals on both sides. The level of interpersonal engagement can’t be duplicated in another type of activity; the team members are not just colleagues but friends.” Ron Smith, past governor of District 7430 (Pennsylvania)
