(GSE Press Release)
Do you want a one month all-expense paid trip to Texas? Would you like to develop your leadership skills, work on team building, and increase self-confidence? If you answered yes to both of these questions, then The Rotary Foundation’s Group Study Exchange (GSE) is for you!
The BVI is gearing up to send a GSE team from the territory to Galveston, Texas from April 13 – May 11, 2013.
The GSE programme is a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for young business and professional men and women in their initial years of professional life.
Teams are comprised of four team members and one Rotarian team leader. The exchange is for four weeks during which the team will visit local businesses, government offices and community organizations in the host district, tour historical and cultural sites, stay with Rotarian host families, and make presentations about their home country and professions.
The program is designed to have an invaluable impact on the career of a young professional in the increasingly global workplace by creating networking opportunities and lifelong friendships. Airfare, accommodation and meals are all covered by the District and The Rotary Foundation.
Individuals who participate in this rewarding, once-in-a-lifetime experience will return home with a broadened cultural perspective and new understanding of a nation’s history, language, commerce, and government.
Applications are now open for 4 team members who will travel to Galveston, Texas from BVI from April 13 – May 11, 2013. The application deadline is October 31, 2012. To qualify, applicants must:
1. Be between 25 and 40 years of age;
2. Be employed with at least 2 years work experience;
3. Be personable, articulate, cooperative, motivated team players, and enthusiastic about their profession;
4. Complete the team member application form, which includes writing an essay
5. Be endorsed by a Rotary Club in our District.
