Read the testimonials of some of our students, such as Pedro Lescano, who highlights the visits to companies and the opportunity to learn about their business models.
"It was an excellent experience and I have learned a lot about the culture of different countries. I got to know the work method of some companies, how they were born as ventures, have been consolidated and take great presence in Kamloops. Every moment was valuable and I enjoyed it a lot."
Likewise, Alvaro Maguiña commented on his interest in pursuing a postgraduate degree in Canada after the experience he gained.
"It was an incredible experience. The possibility of getting to know new cultures and their systems greatly enriches every student who was part of this program.
