Practical Training

Bethany Global University (BGU) is an organization that has been built on the idea that enterprise can be used to help reduce the price of education. Over the past 60 years, students at BGU have offset the cost of their education by serving in various roles through the organization, and you will have the opportunity to do the same. One way this has been done in the past is through the Practical Training (PT) Scholarship. Not only will the PT Scholarship save you money, but it will also serve as a valuable educational experience. Thus, it has become an important part of the educational program at BGU.

The Practical Training program will give you the chance to be a part of the inner workings of the university. You will invest roughly 15 hours a week serving in certain parts of the college, which helps all of us continue to keep the costs of your schooling to a minimum.

From practical training you will gain:

  1. A $6,360 scholarship. Each semester you are awarded a $3,180 scholarship for your participation in the practical Training Program. This increases the potential for you to walk away from college debt free. Imagine what you can do with the extra money you save!
  2. Grow in professionalism. Your ability to influence people is based on how you’re able to interact with them in different social settings. We will teach you how to grow in professionalism whether you’re serving in an office setting, or working in other areas of the ministry.
  3. Develop a strong work ethic. At BGU we play hard and work hard. When you work hard you build trust with those around you. It also shows your supervisor that the best people to have on the team are BGU students!
  4. Learn directly from the staff. Learning new skills is essential for effective cross-cultural work in the future. By serving in various areas you will develop a new and diverse set of skills. The staff at BGU will work with you in training and developing you as a person.

Your practical training program work assignment is based on personal interviews, past experience, preference, and the needs of the organization. Departments in Bethany International that students have served in the past include:

  • I.T.
