Description

In a competitive world of graduates lining up for the top jobs, spending 1-6 months working at a top institute in a developing country would make you stand out from the rest! Nothing shows as much motivation and initiative as arranging a cultural experience abroad. Education establishments and employees are looking for that little bit extra today. Opening your mind and your horizons by living and working abroad is a huge personal and professional achievement that you will always be proud of. Not to mention the lifetime of memories and friends you'll make along the way.

As well as an extremely steep learning curve in your chosen profession, we'll make the whole experience easy, safe and fun for you! You don't necessarily need previous qualifications or any experience and if you don't see what you're looking for here, give us a call, maybe we can arrange it for you.

All work experience placements are specifically tailored to suit your preferences and requirements, to ensure you get as much out of the experience as possible. We will have detailed discussions with you by phone about what you are looking for before your departure and we will ensure that you are happy with your placement with excellent daily care and support throughout your time in country, including being met at the airport and receiving a full induction into your new area.

You will usually work Monday to Friday leaving your weekends free for travel and adventure with other Travellers volunteers during your placement! Placements tend to be social and lots of fun as well as educational. Our Work Experience placements are flexible and run throughout the year so you can pick your own dates and lengths of project anything from 2 weeks to 6 months.
