Introduction

FOR - STUDENTS



TYPES OF Z-CULTURE TRAINEES

Z-Culture: Learn national culture through experience for a successful career. Work on real national culture challenges – in a team where each team member is in a different state.


  • Once you enrol in the Z-Culture Training, you will receive all Z-Culture training materials and program instructions.
  • You will be required to review the materials and complete the Z-Culture Readiness test. Only students who successfully pass the Readiness Test will be allowed to participate in the project.
  • After you pass the Readiness Test, you will be placed on a national virtual team. Typically, the teams are comprised of 4-6 trainees, each coming from a different state.
  • The teams will be presented with a national culture challenge and have about one month to develop a solution.
  • There will be weekly deadlines that the teams have to meet. Each team member will receive a personal email with a link to the weekly progress update survey and will have to report if the team has completed that week’s task.
  • At the end of the project, the teams will present their challenge solutions in a form of team reports. The reports will be evaluated by 4-6 independent experts.
  • Additionally, individual performance records and peer evaluations will be used to select each season’s Best Student Award recipients.

Exercise, not test

In very simple terms.



And remember, Z-Culture is designed to be an exercise, not a test. This is how you learn through experience, not how we test your knowledge. This means that our primary concern is your participation and effort – you show a great involvement and effort and your grade/mark will be high even if your group fails to develop an outstanding culture proposal. But if you know all the answers but don’t actively participate, don’t count on a good grade.


Z-Culture Symposium:



At the end of each Z-Culture season, we invite best students to attend a Z-Culture Symposium. It provides students a great opportunity to meet in person other Z-Culture participants, exchange ideas, expand professional and personal network. Best Student Award recipients are eligible for the Z- Culture Award & Stipends.

National Collaboration Certificate:


All Z-Culture participants who successfully complete the project receive National Collaboration Experience Certificates. We’ve heard countless stories of how Z-Culture certificates helped our students get jobs, promotions and get into national Culture 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, UG and PG programs. When the workplace goes national, a certificate of experience in national collaboration can make a difference.

What’s next:



Once Z-Culture, always Z-Culture. We encourage you to stay in touch after you complete the project. With thousands of Z-Culture alumni national, being a part of the “club” is a huge asset. And keep handy that Z-Culture certificate – it helped quite a few people getting that dream job. Documented national collaboration skills and experience do matter when you’re on a job hunt.
