Gap year program

Some students spend time travelling. Others spend their time working, and many combine these into an international working holiday. A popular option for gap year students, also known as "gappers," is international volunteering. In the wake of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, a big number of the volunteers who helped in South Asia

were on a gap year. Also, many gap year students earn money while overseas by working cash in hand, often in the hospitality industry. Another growing trend for gappers is to enroll in global education programs that combine language study, home stays, cultural immersion, community service, and independent study. Such experiential opportunities exist in countries ranging from India to China and Morocco to Brazil.

Internship

Internship is one of the most important events in the life of a graduating student. With this activity, students are being prepared and trained for the work they are suitable with; they are also given a chance to apply what they have learned from their years of studying bachelor courses. For me doing international internships programs is much advantageous than those which are in local settings. Internships also offer training which will nurture the students’ experiences and will make them better employees or even become absorbed by the host company. International internships program will give students the opportunity to be immersed in completely different phases of environment and cultures.

Summer Camps

Summer Camps why do we have to join them? Summer Camps are good means of developing everyone’s mind to be more interactive with others. Many people benefit from summer camps specially kids; it helps develop their self esteem and helps improve their skills.
