Subject: Opportunity to Cooperate - Saratov Exchange Consulting Center

I have received information from the Saratov Exchange  Consulting
Center, in Saratov, Russia. Perhaps some list members would  like
to contact the Center, to explore opportunities for cooperation.

  Opportunity to Cooperate - Saratov Exchange Consulting Center
*****************************************************************

I  am writing you  on  behalf of the Saratov Exchange  Consulting
Center. It was opened on the October 9th, 1995. The  Center is  a
joint  project  of  the  Saratov    Local   Committee  of  AIESEC
(Association of Students Studying Economics and Management)   and
Saratov   Rotaract  Club. It is  a  non-profit   non-governmental
public  organization which  was  founded   with  the support   of
Eurasia  foundation, city   administration  and  Saratov  Rotary
Club.

The primarily goals of the Exchange Consulting Center are :

* distributing  information  about all available financial assis-
  tance  programs,  exchange programs  and  foreign  traineeships
  within Saratov community;

* providing assistance in  obtaining application forms and infor-
  mation about the requirements for those interested for partici-
  pating in such programs;
* finding employment opportunities for young specialists;

* organizing educational and business seminars and conferences.

Saratov  is  one   of  the  biggest industrial, educational   and
scientific centers in the Volga region. There is a  big  interest
in establishing international contacts and  in participating   in
the exchange   programs  abroad.  But unfortunately it  has  been
difficult to obtain necessary  information. Our  Center is  aimed
to fill that gap.

In  its work Center has achieved the following results  and  took
part in the following events:

* contacts with many foreign and domestic organizations;

* information  on  different exchange  programs  and  application
  forms which were distributed among the Saratov students;

* database   containing the information about  Center's  visitors
  and students of Saratov Academy of economics;

* several recruitment projects;

* pre-departure orientations;

* Young Farmers Exchange Program which was held with the help  of
  Wyoming  and Saratov Rotary Clubs. Four Russian  young  farmers
  went to Wyoming for 6 months;

* International Traineeship Exchange Program  -  AIESEC  exchange
  program;

* international AIESEC Conferences in Europe;

* Education Advising Workshop in Rostov-on-Don.

The  Center is looking for new partners and new activities   now.
We  hope  that your conference  will  help us in our work.  Thank
you for your cooperation.
