Global Experiences

Vision
The Global Education Network (GEN), established in 2001, is a collaboration of premier post-secondary education institutions which provide students with an international learning experience for employment in a global economy.

Network opportunities
GEN provides a variety of study abroad, work and collaborative project opportunities for students, exposing them to the global market.  GEN provides students with innovative international learning experiences to help them gain employment on any continent.

A key focus for partners is to provide opportunities for students based on merit, not economic background.

Member colleges work with employers to determine specific skill requirements. They design and deliver training to competent and productive people. The colleges work with industry so benefits flow to students and employers.

Box Hill Institute has a dedicated GEN office to assist students access opportunities. The office provides services including pre-departure programs and networking opportunities, as well as ongoing support throughout the program.

Partners
GEN recruits member colleges from around the world, providing students, faculty and academic partners access to each other and the network’s resources.

All member institutions are not-for-profit, publicly-funded colleges specialising in two-year associate degree or diploma programs. Each member college has a reputation for excellence in its home country.

Current membership of the Global Education Network:

Box Hill Institute (Melbourne, Australia)
Institute of Technical Education (Singapore)
Kirkwood Community College (Cedar Rapids, Iowa, US)
SAIT Polytechnic (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)

GEN invites select organisations to join in linking students, faculty and employers as we set new standards in applied learning worldwide.
