Program development and implementation

EGC offers a variety of services for the development and implementation of international education programs.  Whether you are looking to create a short- or long-term program we will work with you to define your needs, assess your resources, generate the structure and implement the program.  We are an experienced group that is intimately familiar with a vast array of program sites and structures so you always have the support you need and can depend on our experience and knowledge. We provide a complete solution covering every aspect of design, development, and implementation of a program.

Advocacy training for campus, state, and national levels

As a leader in grassroots advocacy, Dr. Ferst is often asked to speak to audiences on his experiences with both campus-based and national-level advocacy.  EGC can bring this expertise to your office and your staff.  We will assist you defining the issues, creating the message, and delivering it effectively to legislators, campus and community leaders, and other stakeholders.  

Marketing and research

As a thought-leader in the field, EGC can provide current market-based research necessary to accomplish your goals.  With your needs in mind, EGC will conduct relevant research on student populations, programming trends, cost-analysis, price-elasticity models, market reach and more.  Coupled with this research, EGC can create and execute a marketing plan including print brochure creation, design, and printing, web-site development and launch, and both local and national program promotion.

Social Media

The strategists at EGC have been working in web and social media from the very earliest days of html design.  As a result, we can provide expert advice as well as graphic and logistical design services to our clients for both static web pages and dynamic new technologies.  Our staff can create and even manage your social media campaigns on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Reddit, StumbleUpon, and other platforms.  We can create a "buzz" around your programs through the use of a variety of blogs, feeds, and streams.   

Health and Safety

Health and Safety training is one of the most important aspects of program creation and administration.  As recognized experts in health and safety, EGC can evaluate an existing plan, create and implement a new plan, or train resident director, program leaders, and others on program safety.  EGC has created an online training program that can be customized for your school or organization.  This program consists of a series of slides and a skills quiz to test the users' mastery of the material presented.  The program can be delivered in multiple formats for your organization or hosted on our site with results delivered to you.

Staff development

EGC can bring staff training and development to your institution saving you the cost of travel, registrations, and more. Specific training modules exist on advising, health and safety, staff management, program evaluation, program leadership, orientations, and more.
