Based on 15 years of experience, we have compiled our list of the 7 best and most necessary questions to ask during your process of selecting a tour provider for your program.
A common question in the international education community is how can we evaluate and value the experience of study abroad or intern abroad experiences. How can we convey the positive impact this experience will have on a potential student? The European Internship Study 2019 seeks to compare the impact of studying abroad and interning abroad in Europe on the development of students’ transferable skills and their life and career trajectory.
In our second report from our 2019 European Internship Study, we dive into the factor of the length of study abroad and internships abroad and how the duration abroad affects the perceived impact of students on their skill development and overall evaluation of their experience.
Our second annual study surveyed almost 500 students in an effort to uncover trends and correlation between these study abroad and intern abroad experiences and its impact on their skill development and career trajectory.
Our new set of qualitative data is a collection of students who studied abroad or interned in Europe and seeks to gain a greater understanding of the perceived impact of an international experience. Our study compares the answers from our 2019 survey to compare the two data sets.
Our research conveys how international experiences in Europe impact transferable skill development and other key educational and career-based competencies. With two years of proprietary qualitative data, we wish to continue sharing the findings of our research year over year to help inform the study abroad/intern abroad community to aid in the continued development of these programs.
"4.0 Tours is very easy to work with and they are very good at customizing our university programs to the price points I desire. They are quick to respond and their personnel on the ground are absolutely fantastic. I cannot imagine pulling off these very large study abroad programs without my 4.0 Tours partners.”
