What our participants say...
"I gained many new friends and learned so much about life, being independent and making decisions on my own.  I am going back now for the 18-month ICT to train more about my career...."    - Veronica, Work and Travel 2006

Seeing new places, touching the snow, learning to ski, making a snowman, ride a toboggan, working as foodservice worker, a housekeeper, doing my own laundry, cooking my own food and more! These are experiences I will never forget and has truly made me a much better and more responsible young lady!....”    - Shiela, Work and Travel 2007

"At work, I was given the opportunity to do what I love to do!  It was very challenging and best of all, they never failed to recognize your good performance!  The memories we have created are priceless...."    - Mitch, Internship 2007
