Short Overview : (College) |
The career wide programs are designed for those seeking success in language competencies, international life skills , improved edge at the educational ,professional and on-job development skills development in Hungary and the EU.

The programs include job placement and employability courses, on-job integration training for the newly hired as well as the professionals seeking self-efficacy in their work and life contexts
Partner Universities and their Educators as well as leading non-academic Experts have been involved in the design and delivery of the programs
The Migration and Integration Capacity Building programs of the Nobilite Career Development and Integration College (NCIC) are designed to assist “managed mobility” in supporting a synergistic and mutually productive co-existence between the migrant stakeholders namely migrant, her/his family, peers from the same culture on the one hand and the host stakeholders by a team of internationally certified and active experts in the field of migration and integration health
Research has proven that “managed migration” can not only help in reducing the so-called ‘catch-up’ time of the new entrants but can also help in accelerating the speed of reaching “productive hours” and promote the overall psycho-social well-being of the host and migrants.
The Health and Public Heath Aspects of Migration enjoy the highest priority in the domain of Mobility, Migration and Integration, therefore the participants of the various programs of the NCIC are sensitized regarding these aspects .In addition areas of MANAGED MIGRATION, INTER CULTURAL and INTERPROFESSIONAL Communication , Sustainable Healthcare Management, Migrant Self Efficacy and Employability, Social and Behavioural Aspects of Migration, Economic Aspects of Migration are delivered along an array of optional subjects in the fields of medicine, engineering, natural and social sciences as well as economics Another emerging area of focus includes Sustainable Development, Innovation and Migration. Healthy Rural and Urban Management , Architecture, Integrated Healthcare IT , Nurisng and Migration are offered to the participants

Migration Health Team and the Immigration Office
June 21 Pecs-HLMDI

The Migration Health Team of the University of Pécs Medical School visited the Reception Center of the Immigration and Migration Office in Vámosszabadi
During the program we conducted a follow-up on the international PHBLM project which was implemented in 2008-2009.
We had meetings with the director, the medical team and the social workers who are employed at the center, and we disseminated questionnaires among them concerning the following topics: risk factors at the workplace, trainings and awareness concerning migration health, identification of victims of human trafficking, health states of employees and the needs connected to their work. On the other hand, we agreed to obtain an anonymous database from the local healthcare provider which will be used for research purposes.
Today, 45 migrants live in the center which is an open facility, but this number has reached 1300 in an institution that is suitable for 200 people. Although, today only a few migrants live in Vámosszabadi, but a great amount of data has piled up which will be processed and compared to the data collected and published earlier by the Migration Health Team of the University of Pécs.

IUP BUSINESS STUDENTS GO ABROAD, VIRTUALLY
Students in John Lipinski’s Introduction to Entrepreneurship class regularly link up with classmates over 4,000 miles away. Along with Kia Golesorkhi from the University of Pecs in Pecs, Hungary, the two professors link their classes to deliver joint lectures, share guest speakers, and encourage student interaction.
To help solidify the link, last year Lipinski journeyed to Pecs on a faculty exchange to deliver a live lecture to the Hungarian students, and this year Golesorkhi returned the favor and visited with our students live in Indiana. In this day and age of ever-growing globalization, both professors agree that this adds a unique dimension to the course and exposes students to an international perspective that a news video, article, or simple lecture aboutwhat is happening abroad cannot convey.
Ryan Greene, a student in Lipinski’s class, commented on Golesorkhi’s visit: “Dr. Golesorkhi is a great, well-spoken individual that helped us learn more about his country and culture. He also brought great opportunities for our students here in the states with his Gyroscopic Management Program happening this summer in Pecs. Aside from the opportunities he brought, he also gave great insight on the type of economy he has in his culture compared to our economy in the States.”
Lipinski and Golesorkhi have been using teleconference technology to link their courses for the past three years. It was an evolution of Lipinski’s idea that, given modern telecommunications, there has to be a way to link students from around the world, in real time. International students and students in exchange programs add a lot to the educational experience of students when they take the time to get to know the students visiting their country. Lipinski also believes that studying abroad can be a transformative experience for students. However, even when exchange students are present, often students miss the opportunity to form relationships. Nationally, only about 1 percent of U.S. college students have the opportunity to study abroad. Using teleconference technology, the goal of the experiment was to create a Virtual Study Abroad program—even if it was only for one course.
Lipinski has seen an impact, indicating that “students quickly see that their Hungarian counterparts are learning the same core business concepts that are taught in the U.S. They are every bit as capable as a U.S.-educated student and view the world economy as a global opportunity. It really solidifies the concept to our students that they have global competition. The technology also exposes students to the idea that business goes on real time around the globe.”
Students in Indiana are in a late morning class and the Hungarians are in an evening class. Lipinski commented that during his corporate days, it was not uncommon to have virtual meetings across four continents simultaneously—with some participants joining around midnight their time. “It is the way that business is done in the 21st century.”
Hillary Creely, IUP’s assistant dean for Research, was invited to deliver a guest lecture to the classes. Her professional background and responsibilities at the university include intellectual property, patent law, and technology transfer. Golesorkhi commented that her real-world experience and knowledge of technology transfer (a major program direction at the University of Pecs) were not only valuable to the students, but valuable for him. Including experts such as this add a unique dimension to both classes. Creely commented that it was a wonderful experience to be able to speak with students in the U.S. and Hungary simultaneously about intellectual property law, adding that, “the students were so insightful, I’m excited to see how they use IUP to further their entrepreneurial plans.”
In another example, John O’Connor, IUP class of ’91 and founding team member of the Budapest Business Journal (the premier business magazine in Hungary), joined the class later in the semester for his second visit and talked about how his experience at IUP led him to pursue this global opportunity, and how his formative experiences in Hungary led to his continued professional success, his entrepreneurial spirit, and his success in running his own business today.
The classes are not without their challenges. On occasion, the videoconference equipment does not cooperate and the classes are not as seamless as the professors would like. There are other challenges like linking academic calendars (Hungary does not start their spring semester until February, and both schools observe different weeks for spring break), and the U.S. and Europe throw a wrench into the system as daylight savings time shifts the meeting time by one hour for three weeks. However, the professors have been able to link up and share nine to 10 lectures each year. Both professors agree that this is something that they want to refine and continue to offer for years to come
