Testimonials



I am a dual major in Industrial engineering and International business. Globalearn’s program gave me the opportunity to be placed in an international medical device company headquartered in Buenos Aires. I was able to review the process of design and manufacturing of these devices. I experienced the issues that a company faces with import/export of material and devices. Although I will receive my university Degree, I got my real-world education the summer I spent with Globalearn in Buenos Aires. The cultural experience of living in a new country and networking was a plus. I also like to cook as a hobby and look forward to the fresh new foods and dishes I will share with friends and family on my return.

My major is fashion design with goals of one day having my own label. Globalearn was able to place me with an entrepreneurial design mentor in a local fashion house in Buenos Aires. This gave me the opportunity to not only use my design skills but to get an understanding of the business side of fashion. I was given the opportunity to experience marketing, import-export issues, textiles as well as a new culture and networking for life. Simply, for 8 weeks I was able to live my dream!. 

My Student teaching experience was fantastic. From day one teaching 5th grade math, would do this is again in a heartbeat. Being in a foreign country for the first time, I always felt safe and that my Globalearn mentor would check in every day just to see all was going well. I would recommend Globalearn and do this again. The school had a party so that the 5th and 6th grader could talk with us and ask questions about the USA and share Argentinean culture with us. I got to learn about “El Raton Perez” the equivalent to the tooth fairy. I would recommend this program to all educators K-12 for all subjects. You can teach all subjects and grades in English. If you are fluent in Spanish you may also teach classes in Spanish.

My Internship gave me something the university missed. How do I use these tools in the real world and turn this knowledge into a high paying career? How do I get to experience and exposure to current practices while networking with established professionals for my future in a short amount of time. Globalearn gives me that opportunities.

I am a major is FILM production. I worked at a local Museum Institute. This internship gave me a wonderful opportunity for me to see different aspects of video production at a small film production company. Since it was a small group from the museum doing the documentary I was able to wear many hats. From pre and post-production to actually helping set up cameras and be a part of the daily reviews. All in all, I really appreciated the mentor and referrals to other production work after my internship was finished. Great group of people to work with!"

Even though I did not have very much experience in Marketing the people at Globalearn were willing to give me chance to get some hand on experience. The internship program has given me an invaluable learning experience I would not have received in the classroom alone. The professionalism that Globalearn has shown me is like no other place with. Everybody I worked with was courteous, friendly, and always willing to help me out when I needed I needed help. My Internship has been the best hands-on learning experience I been thought

As part of my practical teaching experience requirement, I went to Buenos Aires with the Globalearn program. I was placed in a bilingual school where I taught the 3rd grade. I am not fluent in Spanish but that never was an issue. My mentor was great and I can not say enough about the students. As an American I was treated I was treated like a rock star. The students had such an interest in talking with me and using their English. There was another student teacher form my university who was teaching the 5th-grade math at the same school and had the same great experience.
