Election Fever and Global Opportunity

"Mauritius was made first, and then heaven was copied after Mauritius"

The UK has been deeply distracted with election fever for the last few months and today the calm is settling after a very exciting political storm.  The Conservative party remains in the driving seat and whilst consistency is a good thing we’ll watch with interest as they follow up on their promise of an EU referendum. 

Here at The Training Partnership though, we've been setting our sights further afield, developing some much needed Skype skills and meeting new people through the wonders of technology (better late than never).

Future collaborations are on the cards with Mauritius, Paraguay and Ecuador.

Mauritius is looking good!

Contracts have been signed with Alumno Astralis, a brilliant organisation based in the Indian Ocean offering internships to young people from all over the world.  This is an ideal location for those looking to gain valuable experience abroad, the dominant languages are English and French and the capital Port Louis is particularly well known for its financial centre.

Global Trainee is a new start up company based in Asuncion who are passionate about travel and education and are dedicated to broadening horizons for their young people.  Their focus is on tourism industry helping students who need to undertake a work placement to complete their studies.  Their Summer season is our Winter so complements brilliantly our seasonal tourism industry.

In total contrast we have been in discussions with the Ecuador subsidiary of Academical Travels, a massive player in the youth travel industry.  They are based in Cologne, Germany but have a presence in other countries specialising in internships, volunteering and adventure programmes.
These are exciting times for our country and for us, long may we embrace the challenges and continue to make new friends from across the globe. In the words of Alan Watts "The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance."
