I have the pleasure of teaching students who come to the United States on a journey of personal and professional discovery. Living in the USA with aspirations to lead a happy and successful life, they learn to adapt to a new system and culture that takes time, patience, and sound guidance.
For better or worse, one piece of this process involves the submission of applications. You apply to college, you apply for a job, and you apply newfound skills to develop your career. Alas, no matter your circumstance, there are differences from one country to another between what you achieved at home, and how organizations in your target country perceive those accomplishments. Given disparate educational models around the globe, what happens when your successes, experiences, and professional skills do not easily translate in your new country? Fortunately, there is a solution to bridge this gap.
My son Garrett works at a company called International Education Evaluations, otherwise known as IEE.

A credential evaluation helps translate the recognition, validation, and measurement of your achievements in ways the host country understands. It is likely you will need their assistance as your education and career evolve.
