Area Studies, Language & Culture

American military officers, diplomats, and policy professionals operate in increasingly complex environments where cultural understanding can mean the difference between mission success and failure. McColm has spent over a decade building expertise in language, culture, and area studies training for federal agencies.

We draw on a global network of regional specialists, former diplomats, and academic experts to deliver programming that builds genuine cross-cultural competence. Our expertise helps professionals understand not just what people in other cultures do, but why they do it.
