The demand for English is exploding in the business, academic and diplomatic worlds, and the University of the Nations is seeking to help satisfy thisneed for qualified English teachers through its TESOL training program. This intensive six-week course is offered each January and July at the U of N Kona campus. Teaching English opens a wide variety of doors for Christians seeking to serve in limited access countries. English teaching jobs often overseas often come with good salaries and housing plus open doors of ministry to a wide variety of people and places.

Hands-on training to humanitarian workers

These seminars, developed by the Science and Technology Department staff at the U of N, aim to get international field workers quickly engaged in water and agriculture projects to help serve those in need.

Water Technology Seminar
July 12-23, 2010

Responding to the global water crisis requires understanding, wisdom, and committed action by individuals and groups worldwide.  This seminar is designed to examine the characteristics of water supplies available to communities, demonstrate how to provide, pump, and purify water economically.  Rus Alit, formerly of World Vision, is a world renowned expert in water technologies for non-electrical pumping systems, water holding systems and sanitation.

This Seminar will be particularly useful to those intending to teach the subject matter in the future, as power point presentations, course documentation and video footage will be available for students to take away on CD.  It will however also be suitable for those intending to use the acquired skills in the field.

Sustainable Agriculture Seminar
July 26 - August 6, 2010

Rather than training developing nations in western agricultural practices (which are designed more to produce money than food), we train people in designing and developing low-maintenance "food forests" which tap into God's design in creation.  This seminar also covers agricultural design and implementation, water management, plant propagation, soil care, pest management and resource stewardship.

Optional Field Assignment

An overseas field assignment will take place at the end of the last seminar.  This 1 to 3-week outreach is perhaps the most exciting and important phase of the series. Students from both the Sustainable Agriculture and Water Technology seminars are eligible to participate.  We will assess the needs of the community, and work with them to build appropriate solutions to their food/ water/ shelter problems.  Components of the students projects throughout the seminar series will be selected and built into the field design. Precise dates, cost and location are yet to be determined.
