What did you miss?

If you were not one of the 15 students that came along to meet CCUSA on Thursday then fear not – both Sam and Matt (in the picture below) were fantastic and offered to help any students looking to apply and were unable to come along to their talk.

What did you think of the event?

Student feedback on CCUSA event in the Hub was incredibly positive:

‘The videos about the camps were very valuable’

‘Straight to the point, found out everything I wanted to know’

The event scored 100% for quality and usefulness from student feedback which is fantastic to hear!

How could this help your career?

Going abroad for an experience like CCUSA can greatly boost your self-confidence as well as give you the opportunity to experience a completely new culture.

It may seem scary and challenging, but the experience of adapting and showing respect to new cultures is a fantastic way to show your professionalism and the ability to be self-aware.

Having the opportunity to work with groups will certainly develop your leadership and logistical skills as well as give you a great sense of independence. Ultimately, work experiences abroad look good on a CV.
