. Continuous interaction with enterprises helped motivatestudents to prepare for general classes individually; they have managed to gain good practicalmaterial for the final examination. Teachers have developed new teaching materials, which are nowwidely used in the educational process and mainly in the training of high school teachers. Neweducational technologies used in the implementation of programs are successfully incorporated intoin the main educational process. Among them – lectures given by foreign partners of the project, inperson as well as in the form of video lectures, audio presentations, recurring to pools of knowledgefrom the client enterprises' and program partners' databases; in-built consulting, etc. Thepreparatory work also includes

opportunitiesfor graduate students to have short- term international experiences in laboratories in other partsof the world, and exposure to long- term international careers. We believe that exposing studentsto international settings as a workshop in their university environment will open their curiosity tocollaborate later on with any of those institutions. This paper examines quantitative andqualitative data from graduate school-based seminars in 2011 and 2012. We are in the earlystages of developing international workshops as part of our overall professional developmentseries for graduate students. Our assessments examine the potential impact that our workshops(external to the academic department) have on the success and professional development

component of these initiatives is no doubt closing the gap between high schoolsand higher education institutions, and making higher education institutions more approachable.This study will provide an overview of the proposed program that is currently being developed,and discuss components of the curriculum and laboratory development. It is important to notethat this particular program is designed within the frame work of 7th-12th grade secondary scienceeducation in New York State.Introduction:High school students often have hesitations when it comes to decisions regarding collegeapplications and major selection. These hesitations are usually tied to misconceptions such ascollege not being affordable1 or the level of math and science skills needed
