Current Projects
International Training Programs (ITP) implements short-term study and professional development programs in collaboration with both private and government funders. Each program is individually designed to meet the needs of the participants. ITP has the capacity to provide a rigorous academic experience through California State University, Chico, as well as a variety of site visits within the local community and throughout northern California.
Not only do participants from around the world benefit from these programs, but our university faculty, students, and local community, especially schools and citizens who host, learn about each other and extend the meaning of friendship.
ITP is currently planning to offer the following programs in summer and fall of 2026 and spring of 2027.
Six professionals (three medical doctors, a school principal, and two teachers - English and Mathematics) are on the CSU, Chico campus and embedded in the Chico community as part of the Bolashak Program, a scholarship from Kazakhstan for high-performing individuals to refine their academic and professional skills.
Twenty international educators from twenty countries will take part in the three-year (2025-2027) Study of United States Institutes for secondary educators (SUSI) project in June and July of 2026. The three-year project will give three separate groups of international educators a deeper understanding of U.S. society, education, culture, values, and institutions. The 2026 group will be the second of the three groups.
A program is in development to have a group of students from Shinshu University attend a campus-based program during September of 2026. They will work closely with faculty and students in the CSU, Chico College of Agriculture.
It is anticipated that twenty-five participants will be on the CSU, Chico campus as part in the Fulbright Teaching Excellence and Achievement program (Fulbright TEA) from January through mid-March of 2027.
