Who Can Use an Educational Consultant?

Human Resources Professionals

If your company regularly sends employees abroad you understand that the family’s needs must be addressed in order to have a successful overseas assignment.

How you take care of an employee’s family can have a significant impact on how smoothly the employee transitions to a new post. 

Vital considerations:

• Age of the children
• Length of the assignment
• Special learning needs
• Availability of school choices
• Contingency planning for emergencies
• High school graduation requirements

RNG can help you when:

• The family needs guidance on schooling options at the overseas destination.
• The family has a child with special needs.
• The assignment works for all family members except the child who is about to enter the last few years of high school.
• The family is considering boarding school or therapeutic school or program.
• There is concern about quality college counseling while overseas.
• The family needs guidance on how to successfully transition to international living.
• You are sending an employee overseas without the family and both need additional support.
• You are reviewing your company’s policies and procedures for expatriate employees.
