Join Us to Explore Under‐tapped Education Markets
The United States Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration, U.S. & Foreign Commercial Service, is organizing an education mission to Warsaw, Poland and Prague, Czech Republic from April 15 ‐ 19, 2012. This mission will include representatives from regionally accredited graduate programs and 4-year undergraduate educational institutions.
Meet Students and Potential Partners
This mission will seek to connect United States education institutions to potential students, university/institution partners and education consultants in Poland and the Czech Republic. The mission will include one‐on‐one appointments with potential partners, embassy briefings, student fairs and networking events in Warsaw and Prague, two dynamic and growing markets that hold high potential for U.S. educational institutions interested in students from this region.
Poland and the Czech Republic?
Poland is unquestionably a prime target from which U.S. educational institutions can successfully recruit both graduate and undergraduate students. This market is not only the sixth largest country in the European Union in terms of population, but from a demographics standpoint, the population is heavily skewed towards young students with keen interest in higher education. Poland's total population of 38 million includes over 5.5 million young people from 15 to 24 years of age, including 1.9 million students.
The Czech Republic is an under‐tapped market with unprecedented student recruitment potential. Study Abroad programs are rising. English is the standard second language, providing a large pool of candidates for both undergraduate and graduate studies in the U.S. Current exchange rates and the visa waiver program are making U.S education more attractive.
