Through the program, a team of Rotarians and non-Rotarians visits the country. The awards provides for the trip expenses excluding personal expenses and passport, visa and medical requirements.
The purpose of the Vocational Training Team is to promote international understanding and goodwill through person-to-person contact. While abroad, team members have the opportunity to meet their professional counterparts and work with them. They may also give presentations to Rotary clubs and other groups about their home country. Members will be expected to share their experiences at various Rotary Clubs and events on their return home.
The Rotary Foundation provides round-trip air travel, meals, lodging, and group travel in their district. Team members pay only for travel insurance, medical shots if required and personal expenses during the trip.
Any club may pursue a grant that includes a Vocational Training Team. Return visits may also be included.
