What our alumni are saying...

"I'm happy to say I've accepted a job at NAFSA!"

"GPI helped me identify and relate my own skill set and experience to positions I'm interested in. Having previous experience as an academic, rather than an IE professional, means I have to reposition myself and work on my branding more to let others know what I really want to do. Sometimes you need to have experience to get experience, and sometimes it's more about your network. GPI has made me more aware of my network and the relationships I've built and how to give back as well. And I'm happy to say that I've accepted a job as Associate Director of Research and Scholarship at NAFSA! Thank you GPI!"

- Shanna Saubert, PhD, Associate Director of Research and Scholarship, NAFSA

"The strategies set out in GPI really do work!"

"Great news: I landed a really great study abroad role at a London university! Massive thanks to Brooke... and all of you fellow GPIers! The GPI course has been fantastic, and the strategies set out by Brooke really do work. I don't know if I'd have made this shift without it."

- Malcolm Davidson, London South Bank University

"Super excited about the work I'm about to begin!"

"Hello GPI family. Happy to announce after a couple months of pitching ideas and demonstrating what I can do, a new opportunity in IE presented itself. I grabbed it with both hands, gave it a bear hug, and wrestled it to the ground.

I'm the new Partnerships and Program Developer at United Planet. Super excited about the work I'm about to begin. Grateful to them for their willingness to take a chance on me proving I can bring value to the UP organization.

- Ayesha Kennedy Candiff, PhD, Partnerships and Program Developer, United Planet

"I don't know where I'd be in my search if I hadn't found GPI."

"GPI gave me the confidence to tailor my job search in the most effective way possible. Especially beneficial were the Master Classes, where I thought I would hear from mid-level managers for 30 minutes on their roles, but what I got was 60 minutes or more with the top executives and sometimes the actual founders of prestigious providers, institutions, or universities.

Brooke had such an extensive grasp of the trade, and taught her classes and conducted interviews with such enthusiasm and positive energy that I was sad to see the program end!

GPI’s easy to use online format and measured pace of the coursework were perfect for my busy overseas life, and Brooke was always available with support if I needed some extra help or a boost in my confidence. I am certain that GPI will become the essential course for anyone contemplating the sector. I don’t know where I would be in my search if I hadn’t found GPI.”

- Joe Kaesshaefer, Retired Senior US Foreign Service Officer

What is it costing you to guess your way to a thriving career in global education?

BREAKDOWN OF OTHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS IN INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION

Industry Conferences

Conferences are great! But if you don't already know how to navigate the field or have an existing network, these industry events can become overwhelming and frustrating. 

1-on-1 Career Coaching

We're all about coaching, but without a community of like-minded peers and a clear, actionable roadmap to level-up your professional brand, unstructured advice can often lead to procrastination and confusion. 

Other IE Professional Development Programs

Both of the national organizations offer professional development programs, but they both require a minimum of two years professional experience and the expensive price tag assumes your employer is paying.

Graduate Degrees

A graduate degree can be helpful in helping in landing a job in international education, but it's not a golden ticket. Even those with Master's degrees have trouble landing a job in the field. We don't think you need to spend $40k+ to get a look behind the IE curtain.

Why I Created the Global Pro Institute

"I created the Global Pro Institute for people with a passion for global education who want the no-fluff, step-by-step roadmap, and the ongoing support to launch and level-up a successful career in international education.

If you already have an established career and you're looking to get to the next level, this course is for you. If you're starting from the beginning with zero experience, this course is also for you because you'll instantly have a network of like-minded peers and access to my team of seasoned industry veterans to help you build a brand, body of work, and network that matters.

GPI was the program I needed when I was just starting out. I applied for over 75 positions before ever getting even one call back.  I know what it feels like to want something so bad but feel like all the doors are slamming in your face.

I don't want you to struggle like I did. This program is designed not just to give you the knowledge and skills you need, but also a support community that's in the trenches with you. 

We can't wait to meet you on the inside. "

- Brooke Roberts, Founder of Inside Study Abroad; Creator of the Global Pro Institute
