School Counselor Training for Global University Pathways
The Global Pathways Counselor Development Program equips Indonesian school counselors, vice principals, academic coordinators, and student affairs leaders to guide students toward successful international university admission, scholarship access, and long-term academic readiness.
A 12-Month Professional Development Program
Designed for schools seeking stronger global university readiness systems, this one-year training combines intensive onsite workshops, monthly mentoring, school visits, applied case work, and end-of-year certification. The program moves schools from reactive application help toward a strategic, sustainable counseling ecosystem.

Strengthen Professional Skills
Train counselors in university selection, essays, recommendations, interviews, financial aid, visa guidance, ethics, and student case management.
