Meetings for International Visitors

The Division of International Technical Cooperation arranges meetings at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for many international visitors each year. Visits are arranged for individuals, as well as for groups of all sizes. Visitors include economists, statisticians, researchers, analysts, managers, academics, trade union representatives, business leaders, and journalists. Visits are typically scheduled for one to two hours and are organized to meet the needs and interests of the visitors. If you are interested in a longer visit, please see the information on Customized Seminars.

Meetings are conducted in English. Non-English speaking visitors must bring their own interpreter.
