To facilitate the identification and prescreening of a large applicant pool, ASSIST works with liaison staff, representatives and leaders overseas. In each country where ASSIST is active, our colleagues work diligently to present highly qualified candidates, who are subsequently interviewed by ASSIST staff and Board members who travel to these countries.

Throughout the course of the year, our colleagues remain available to facilitate contact with the families of students. They also help to work through cultural differences when they arise and support ASSIST staff and colleagues in member schools to understand educational systems and priorities in each country served.

This effort is made in tandem with the school visitation program in the United States. ASSIST staff visit schools on a rotating basis so that excellent matches are made between candidates and schools. Our overseas colleagues also spend time in the U.S., volunteering at the ASSIST orientation and visiting member schools.
