	We are known for providing exciting and unique opportunities for Australians to enhance their capabilities in-line with the world's best. As well it is a program creating and supporting significant international and cross-cultural relationships. The ISS Institute fellowships are an exciting and unique opportunity for Australians to enhance their capabilities. The fellowship program is the means by which skill and knowledge gaps are identified and verified, and then matched to overseas organizations where the skills can be acquired. Australians travel overseas or experts travel to Australia. Importantly, fellows must pass on what they have learnt through a Report and a wide range of the ISS Institute education and training activites and events such as workshops, lectures, seminars, forums, exhibitions and conferences. The activities place these capabilities, plus insights (attitudinal change), into the minds and hands of those that use them - trades and professional people alike - the multiplier effect. Individuals gain; industry and businesses gain; the Australian community gains economically, educationally and culturally.
