Executive programs in California – New Deadline December 15th

Standard

Applicants are supported by an extensive scholarship program, covering up to 70% of the expenses of the chosen program. We also provide all the support both before, giving orientation about visa, transfers and accommodations, and during the trip, when assistant professors are on site and coordinating the mandatory and optional visits.

The first step in order to apply for a scholarship is to fill out and submit the Application Form not later than December 15th, 2019, along with a resumé and Enrollment Status letter issued by the university.

I’m happy to share the Brochure with you.

There are a limited number of scholarships available. The evaluation of the application takes about one week, considering curriculum analysis. After that, the place will be available for one week for the completion of the enrollment process.

If there is a better person to speak with about these opportunities at your institution, I would be grateful if you were able to put me in touch with him or her.

Best regards,

Dear Student,

We wish to communicate to all students the opportunity to apply for Executive short-term programs, organized by Professor Ricardo Pitelli Britto and held at California State University, Northridge and University of La Verne.

In addition to partial scholarships that covers 70% of the programs’ costs, we provide significant student support both before and during trips: background readings, logistical assistance, visa help, and more. Our mission is to encourage cross-cultural cooperation and make international study experience as accessible as possible.

Designed to take place during vacations, our three-week programs are held in January and July, the courses include company visits, interviews with executives, lectures, seminars, group presentations and business simulations.

Interested candidates should contact the program assistant here.

The deadline to apply is December 15th, 2019.

I look forward to hearing from you!
