Abstract:	Providing statistical training to groups composed of government statisticians of different countries poses many challenges. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has been conducting international seminars since 1945. This paper discusses the challenges that we encounter. It presents some of the ways in which we deal with the challenges and our thoughts on what further steps we must take in order to make the training as effective as possible.
