At the Institute for Training and Development (ITD) we create immersive experiences for change agents that allow for the exchange of ideas, deep understanding, and cultivated knowledge that result in the transformation of their communities. Our work brings together professionals, students and/or youth leaders typically from underrepresented groups to deepen understanding and share cultures. Participants return to their communities and countries enriched by their exchange and inspired by new and challenging ideas, knowledge and skills.
ITD designs and delivers customized, high-quality educational programs that are participant-centered, immersive and experiential, and grounded in contemporary global issues.
