World Learning offers dozens of exchange programs each year, empowering people from the United States and other countries at all points in their careers and academic lives. Our professional exchanges include networking opportunities with U.S. and international counterparts, site visits, and industry and community discussions; our academic exchanges place students in U.S. colleges and universities to strengthen their understanding of the United States and develop career skills; we also support U.S. professionals and academics to travel overseas to showcase American know-how;  and our youth programs teach young people valuable lessons and skills that equip them for success.

World Learning believes everyone deserves a high-quality education. We help make that vision a reality through our cutting-edge education programming tailored to countries and contexts. In our K-12 education programming, we strengthen four key players—parents, teachers, administrators, and government—so they can pursue lasting change to the educational system together.

English is increasingly vital to success in higher education and the 21st-century workplace. It is the de facto language of global business, academia, and travel. It accounts for about 85 percent of internet content and 90 percent of peer-reviewed science research journals. Simply put, English opens doors to better opportunities, new possibilities, and diverse cultures.

World Learning helps open those doors through our TESOL teacher training. We believe that when teachers are better educated and better equipped, they are better positioned to motivate and empower their students in their language learning. Our comprehensive array of programming includes intensive and customized training courses, leadership building, professional development for teachers, and educational system strengthening.
