This truly was one of a kind experience that you won’t regret! The people and staff were amazing and you get work experience while you travel! It’s also cool because the people in your cohort are from all over the world so you make friends that you can stay with when you travel.
It’s different to studying at university because this is the real world. They don’t really teach you how to deal with the real world at university.
What you learn, the soft skills and hard skills you learn, you can apply them to almost everything.
