Fernando Villanueva shares his approach to his transition from his undergraduate studies to international work. His approach began in high school and involved study in France with The Experiment in International Living’s School for International Training. After graduation, he took a traineeship with AIESEC, a student-run international nonprofit organization that provides leadership training and internship opportunities. His adjustment difficulties in his overseas assignment had to do with recognizing that his cultural assumptions were not always shared and that he could learn rather than teach.
