International Connections Consulting (ICC) has a special seminar and workshop page. This page is dedicated to promoting short term workshops or seminars in a wide variety of subject matters. Whether your a teacher trying to update your teaching skills or a business executive that needs to prepare for a speech in their native or a foreign language, we will try to give you a wide variety of options. Not only will this make your selections more concise and thorough but you can even include extra time for vacationing or sightseeing which will enhance your knowledge and experience by allowing you to take a break in an enjoyable and culturally beneficial manner.

Here are just a short list of some of the topics:

Acting
Art
Cooking
Dancing
Fashion
Filmmaking
Foreign Language
Music Publishing
Opera
Painting
Public Speaking
Publishing
Teacher Training
Wine Making/Tasting
Writing
and the list goes on and on.

In today's exhausting and busy environment, who has the time to take off long extended periods of time in order to enrich or enhance their current skills. These days if we can get a couple of days off for training, we are lucky. Why not combine your training with a short vacation? Why not make your next workshop or seminar an adventure at the same time? It not only makes sense and gives you peace of mind from the dual benefits, it also makes good economical sense. By combining your training and vacation, you can allow your family to tag along which in most cases will prevent you from getting homesick and in some cases you can include your family into selected training specialties. This will give the business person or performer the opportunity to obtain the empathy from their spouse and/or children when their schedules seem a little too demanding. It might also allow them to find some way to involve themselves in your business or profession which in the long run will allow your family to become closer and have more quality time. This last benefit alone makes it all worthwhile.

Finally, ICC decided to launch this page because many of our clients are constantly developing opportunities for them to showcase their seminar or workshop each month and have a specific section of our web site that just focuses on this theme.

To get a better idea of some of the various possibilities that ICC will offer, please visit our newsletter page http://www.intlconnections.com and check out the archives at the bottom of the page. These are some of the previous articles featured in our newsletter over the last year and half. Most if not all of ICC's clients offer seminars and workshops on various themes along the lines of the list above. This will wet your appetite for what the new ICC Workshop Page will have to offer.

If you would like more information on any of the seminars, workshop, or the new page, please contact us International Connections Consulting.

Some of the seminars and workshops are portable and can be offered at your company, organization, or school. If you are interested in this option, please complete our contact form and indicate the desired institution or organization. ICC will forward your request to them and they will contact you directly.

International Connections Consulting's (ICC) Book Section will allow independent publishers, writers, small, medium and some big companies (book stores, independent/university, schools-who would like to sell their own textbooks to future students or other institutions) to take advantage of our specialized audience and continuous Marketing Program by placing a listing in the Book Section for a reasonable fee. In return, their book or web site will receive international exposure. Just imagine, you have a book that you have always wanted to write and get published. Most of us have had this dream all of our lives. However, as many young writers realize the process can be quite tedious and lengthy let alone costly if you dont obtain a big publishing contract.

Many of the stories lead us to believe that you could become rich overnight. The reality is quite different. So many up and coming writers never realize their dreams due to time, money, and a saturated market, etc. Self Publishing is a viable option but it can be quite costly and possibly never allow you to reach your desired goal of making the bestsellers list. International Connections Consulting decided to offer their new ICC Book Section to facilitate this market niche. By listing in this section and paying a fixed monthly fee, you can get the word out about your book, publishing company, writing services, workshops, etc. without having others cut into your bottom line. With ICCs monthly marketing campaign (e-mail, fax, flyer distribution, media, book publishing companies and related associations-to commence in May), each listing receives maximum exposure. It's like having a Marketing and Public Relations Department built in throughout the year. The topics and subject matter of each book will have to meet certain guidelines predetermined by ICC to ensure that the quality and mission statement of our web site is not compromised. As far as company listings, the firm has to be a legitimate and reputable one. Please view our web sites information (www.intlconnections.com/brochure.htm) and Resource Directory (www.intlconnections.com/directory) to learn more about what we market and promote before submitting request to avoid potential conflicts of interests. ICC thanks you in advance.

ICC will explore combining this new section with the upcoming audio/video online conferencing. This would allow entities to increase their sales via advanced online tools that can augment desired results (for example, author book signing or meet the author online).

Contact ICC today for more information and pricing.

Everyone needs resource information to facilitate their studies or work. Quality resource information is an invaluable tool. International Connections Consulting (ICC) has spent the last 13 months researching and investigating various types of resource information that would appeal to their wide variety of clients (business people, organizations, students, teachers or vacationers).

ICC's Self Service Resource Directory provides a wide variety of information to the world regarding cultural information, education, funding, scholarships, and specialized programs, etc. This service allows their clients to obtain additional information to further assist them with their education programs, vacations, business opportunities, and teaching material, etc. One positive aspect about the directory is the exactness of the material. ICC tries to be as specific as possible with the listings. This is extremely important when someone is in a hurry and doesn't have a lot of time to do guesswork regarding which sections serve their needs. ICC tries to limit its categories to those that serve their clients needs.

The company recognizes the value of time. In today's fast paced society, time is a luxury that many of us don't have. Therefore, it is critical to get the information that we need when we need it in a efficient, fast, and timely manner. The ICC Self Service Resource Directory fulfills this need.

By listing in their resource directory, their clients receive multiple benefits. Being listed in the ICC Resource Directory gives them global exposure with a built in ongoing marketing campaign monthly (mass faxing, e-mail, direct mail, search engines, word-of-mouth, conferences, distribution-flyers/downloadable flyers, advertising-press releases, media, etc.). They can enter their own listings, have multiple listings or add other features depending on what their needs are. If you are interested in listing in the directory or obtaining more information contact ICC. All listings have to be in line with the overall subject content/theme of the ICC web site. All Paid listings have to be pre approved. However, for information about our 1 FREE listing, visit http://www.intlconnections.com/resource.htm to learn more about it. Please read all of the instructions carefully to avoid confusion.

Later this spring, International Connections Consulting will launch a Book Section that will give up and coming future self publishers, writers, or small to medium size companies the opportunity to get the word out about their work. Contact ICC for more information.

Optimal service is what most companies strive to achieve in order to give their clients the best and to compete in the long run. International Connections Consulting (ICC) has spent the last twelve months assessing the market and the latest trends in Education. We have actively sought out quality products (schools, services, etc.) that could meet the growing needs our clients (businesses, organizations, schools, students, and teachers) that are involved in almost any aspect of the education field. Working with high quality schools is paramount to providing our wide range of visitors to our web site what they desire.

ICC not only provides Free Educational Advising but we offer several complimentary products (Resource Directory, Global Event Calendar, Monthly Newsletters featuring our clients). In addition to all of this, we are developing a host of other services to further enhance our web site and current host of services. International Connections Consulting is currently developing on-line conferencing tools and services. These tools and services will foster the interaction necessary between ICC clients.

ICC will make available to its clients streaming audio and video tools, chat rooms and message boards to support on-line conferencing suites. These rental suites will allow clients to conduct on-line on-demand training, interviews, presentations and forums. These tools and services will be made available in the first quarter of 2000.

ICC realizes that many web sites offer photos and maps that allow visitors to not only read about their desired school but actually visualize it. Until, we were able to offer these features with minimal discomfort or inconvenience to our clients, we did not want to risk increasing the load time on our web site which in the long run would discourage potential visitors because of the inconvenience. After some fine tuning and above average support from our web hosting company, ICC is now going to begin a lengthy process of adding photos to our current and previous articles over the course of the next year.

In the Spring of 2000, ICC will launch a special Book Section that allows independent publishers, small, medium and some big companies to take advantage of our specialized audience and continuous Marketing Program by placing a listing in our Book Section for a reasonable fee. In return, their book or web site will receive international exposure. The topics and subject matter of each book will have to meet certain guidelines predetermined by ICC to ensure that the quality and mission statement of our web site is not compromised. Please view our web sites information and Resource Directory to learn more about what we market and promote before submitting request to avoid potential conflicts of interests. Thank you in advance.

Furthermore, International Connections Consulting will be setting up a special workshop page along with other special themes for example, Teacher Training, to allow the ICC family to showcase some of their other areas of expertise. Look for details regarding this section in the next six months.

Last but definitely not least, ICC's President, Tasha Lewis, would like to take this opportunity to thank all of its clients (businesses, organizations, schools, students, and teachers, etc.) for all of their support and feedback that is contributing to making ICC an above average Educational Advising company with lots of extras.

International Connections Consulting wishes you'll a happy, prosperous and safe year.

With the new millennium, the need for quality trained employees is becoming paramount to maintain a competitive edge in most industries. Gaining valuable experience before you enter the job market can give a student the advantage he/she needs to obtain their career objectives. Not only are they more marketable but they have gained valuable life experience that will carry them through life.

After numerous requests from visitors to our web site, International Connections Consulting (ICC) has decided to offer assistance with connecting potential internship candidates with ICC clients who offer Internship programs.

Whether you would like to receive training in the USA or abroad, ICCs wide selection of global clients can provide you with a unique opportunity to enrich your career and life. Many of the programs can be combined with obtaining credit, college and language courses.

If you are interested in finding out more information about Internships or other courses, please visit ICCs main pages and client page. Many of the schools have been featured in ICCs newsletter. You can read about them by clicking on the schools name or going directly to ICCs newsletters front page and scrolling down to our Archives.

After narrowing down your choices, complete the ICC Contact form with all of the appropriate information. You will be provided with a series of questions to ensure that your selections are appropriate and meet your overall needs. Then you will be put in touch with the schools that you select. Its just that simple.

The Internships vary from nonpaying to some form of compensation. This is an important consideration. If you select a location outside of your home country, you will need to keep in mind that if you select a nonpaying position, you will be responsible for all of the related expenses (travel, lodging, meals, expenses, insurance, work permit,etc.). If this is a major deterrent, you may want to look at combining the internship with your studies. This would allow you to qualify for grants or scholarships that could defer or eliminate some of these costs. These are all viable responses that you should provide when completing the ICC contact form.

For whatever reason you have chosen to obtain an internship, doing as much homework and research on the designated country as possible will make your experience a "Living and Learning Experience."
