Global Training and Development Institute (GTDI) at the University of Connecticut (UConn) will host the Global Leadership and Entrepreneurship Academy focused on social entrepreneurship and leadership funded by a grant from the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent, Uzbekistan at the U.S. Department of State. Beginning in June 2025, a group of young leaders from Uzbekistan will visit UConn`s main campus in Storrs, CT for a three-week intensive academic exchange.
The GTDI will work together with the Center for International Social Work Studies at UConn to provide the Academy participants with transformative learning experience that deepens their professional skills, and enhance their leadership abilities, while providing them with new knowledge and practical skills in social entrepreneurship and economic development. The Academy will use a mix of workshops, group exercises, site visits, cultural activities, and applied problem-based learning to assist the participants to achieve the program goals. The short-term anticipated result of the program is that participants will gain a deeper understanding of social entrepreneurship and economic development, and enhanced leadership skills, all while creating positive socio-economic community impact with their pilot projects. In the long-term, the participants will use their new skills to build stronger international ties and professional networks between the U.S. and Uzbekistan.
The Youth Empowerment Through International Exchange is a program of the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent, Uzbekistan with funding provided by the U.S. Government and administered by the Global Training and Development Institute at the University of Connecticut.
