As a part of UW's annual Career Discovery Week, FIUTS plans Take the World to Work Week. This event matches international students individually or in small groups to visit professionals in their work places for a day, offering a rare glimpse inside the professional life of their chosen career.
Take the World to Work Day is scheduled for winter quarter every year. Take the World to Work Week has passed for 2008, but if you are interested in participating in 2009, email Homestay & Community Relations Coordinator Alicia van der Veen.
"This program helped me understand what companies in the U.S. are like. This program offers us a chance to see work places and talk to those in the field we might be interested in... it is a really nice chance to promote cultural understanding!" - Naoki Donuma, English Language Programs Student
