PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:
The SABIT program awards funding to qualified U.S. companies for training business executives and scientists from the New Independent States (NIS) of the former Soviet Union. SABIT exposes NIS business managers and scientists to a completely new way of thinking in which demand, consumer satisfaction, and profits drive production. Mid to senior level interns visiting the U.S. for internship programs with public or private sector companies will be exposed to an environment which will provide them with practical knowledge for restructuring their enterprises. The program provides first-hand, eye-opening experience to managers and scientists which cannot be duplicated by American managers traveling to their territories.
