Take the World to Work Program Connecting UW globally-minded domestic and international students with Puget Sound professionals! Take the World to Work week was a HUGE success, not only because the students were able to gain some insight on what and how we work, but also from our side. Thank you so much for organizing this! -World to Work Host 2009 Take the World to Work! Host a Student at Your Workplace FIUTS Career Development Workshops Take the World to Work Networking Reception Take the Wold to Work Closing Happy Hour My meeting with Autumn (World Affairs Council) not only taught me more about the work at a non-profit organization, but also gave an interesting insight into the difference between non-profits in Europe and the US. This was a great opportunity to learn about the differences in the work place in the US and my home country. -Student Participant of Take the World to Work 2009 Take the World to Work Program The FIUTS Take the World to Work Program offers international and globally minded domestic students in our community an opportunity to share a day on the job with a local professional.
