In our hyper-connected economy and society, we have to have an internationalization strategy if our organizations and colleagues are to succeed.  For some institutions that may mean embedding global perspectives throughout the curriculum, or it may mean equipping professionals to navigate a multi-cultural clientele.  Put our award-winning expertise to work to make your enterprise more nimble, responsive and globally-ready. 

The constantly changing regulatory landscape for F-1, J-1 and M-1 student and scholar regulations presents a serious financial and reputational risk to institutions that do not invest in up-to-date training and implementing best practices.

Mitigating institutional risk is not just the responsibility of advisors and general counsels but today is an imperative for all levels of an organization that work with international students and scholars.  Many community colleges and secondary schools lack the staff expertise and budget to stay current with latest regulations. 

Petit World Consultants have served in the NAFSA trainer corps and have led hundreds of trainings for advisors, students, faculty and staff to protect institutions and maximize opportunities for internationals on our campuses.  Let us put our experience to work for your institution.

Recruitment strategies are always changing.  Yesterday's tools can be old news tomorrow.  But sometimes older approaches can have a revival.

Whether it is traditional in-person recruitment, arm-chair promotion, or cutting-edge social media, we have been there and believe that one thing remains true -- it is about people.  Relationships matter, and so does a good, engaging, story of why the students of tomorrow should see themselves on your campus.   

Petit World Consulting has led numerous successful international recruitment initiatives for community colleges, high schools and universities.  Let us put our expertise and market intelligence to work for your institution.

Most organizations depend on strategic partnerships to create new opportunities, harness specialized skills, and expand the reach of their operations. The challenge is not just finding reliable partners, but in having the expertise to imagine what new programs and initiatives might be possible with the right collaborators.  

Petit World Consulting has imagined and executed partnership development for community colleges, universities and non-profits that resulted in enriching opportunities for institutions and transformative experiences for students.  Let us put our expertise and market intelligence to work for your  organization.

Investing recruitment campaigns without equally strong retention efforts just throws money away and misses a tremendous opportunity to sustain enrollments.

Students and families today prize authenticity, engagement and hospitality.  Let your efforts show those values and give them a reason to persist, even when things get tough. Too often retention efforts are in a silo away from the recruitment operation.

Petit World Consulting has developed many successful retention initiatives around orientation, programming, career services and much more.  We know how to bring the pieces together.  Let us put our experience and ideas to work for your students.
