In an effort to build long-term capacity on the campuses where we work, Idealist On Campus has developed a "train-the-trainer" program that convenes college students and campus staff statewide or regionally. The Idealist On Campus Institute (IOCI) teaches valuable information to participants, and also equips attendees to return to their home campuses and lead workshops on their own.
IOCI workshop content is designed around a specific theme, such as "Pathways into Nonprofit Careers," in consultation with the host campus and other partners. This training, for example, focuses on ways that students can pursue nonprofit and other socially responsible career opportunities, and includes both informational and train-the-trainer components. While attendees are taught essential information about pathways into careers serving the common good, emphasis is also placed on training attendees to take this information back to their communities to make it more available and more accessible to a wider audience.
