The environment at Queen’s is becoming increasingly intercultural as the university works toward achieving its internationalization goals. On its own, and in partnership with other units on campus, QUIC has developed various training opportunities that will help staff succeed in this environment.
Other training options for staff are available through Human Resources' Employee Work and Career Support web page. Queen's undergraduate and graduate programs include numerous opportunities for staff to gain international and intercultural knowledge; the university's Tuition Assistance Program makes this learning accessible to staff after one year of continuous employment at Queen's.

OCASP Form 1 Completion for Travellers
Description: With the implementation of the Off-Campus Activity Safety Policy (OCASP), any undergraduate student travelling across the border is required to complete the OCASP Form 1. This presents some challenges, and QUIC offers training sessions for those travellers whose Form 1 must get final approval from the QUIC Director. The training walks the traveller through proper completion of each section of the form, as well as the completion of a thorough risk analysis based on the traveller's destination.
Session length: 1-2 hours
