FLEX Scholarships for Global Village for Leaders in Business and Industry

The Global Village for Future Leaders of Business and Industry ® is an applied leadership, cross cultural training program designed for young professionals and experienced students who share the dream of building a leadership career in business and industry, who want to make a positive change in life, and who want to form an active and global network.

Through interactive seminars, networking, business trips, consulting projects, and cultural experiences, Global Village interns learn the tools essential to becoming a successful leader.

(the program) “…exceeded my expectations! We took part in courses on public speaking, project management, working in a multi-cultural environment - classes you won't find at a typical university. I think the whole experienced helped me to reflect on what my career goals are, plus it re-energized me and has kept me going ever since.

“The program has increased my network dramatically and my leadership skills. You improve yourself and develop your talents through communicating with leaders from all over the world!”
