Welcome!

Dynamic Journeys Inc. is committed to assisting your Continuing Education Department in the implementation of the International education program "Building Futures through Global Education". Our company has the expertise and tools to make this program a success that can be used every year to expand your focus towards a global economy and expose your students to the rewards and education that international travel provides.

We have provided a synopsis of the program, the theory behind the program, and the opportunity for you to get involved. Although every item may not apply directly to your school, the tools provided by Dynamic Journeys Inc.’s International Learning Experience will enable you to implement this program by merely adding or removing requirements for your own Domestic Instructors and/or students.

If you need more information about or would like to meet with someone to further discuss the program for your school, please contact me.

When you are ready to implement this program at your school, we will provide a contract, sample documents, forms and instructions, in both hard copy format and on CD-Rom that can be easily customized with your school's name and logo.

We look forward to helping you “Go Global.”

Best regards,

As competition for admission to the top undergraduate and post-graduate schools intensifies, schools and employers are looking for more than just great grade point averages and SAT, ACT, LSAT, MCAT, or GRE exam scores. Many consider that another element, International education, is just as important in determining admission.

First, they want documented evidence of International Education; that the applicant has been exposed to and experienced travel, education and cultural interaction abroad. Not only do institutions recognize the need to prepare graduates for an ever expanding global economy, they are extremely cognizant that in today's world, a graduate often cannot be successful unless they embrace "Going Global" and are enthusiastically comfortable producing, managing, and making accurate predictions about production, expansion, and offshore services. The best way to prepare students for this component is by studying abroad. However, an entire year or semester overseas is cost and/or time prohibitive for many families and those already in the workforce.

Dynamic Journeys, Inc. offers the opportunity through a targeted travel and scholarship program “Building Futures through Global Education”.

The more of these continuing education courses that are completed, the more documented proof that this individual values cross-cultural education and is thus, more prepared and eagerly enthusiastic to "Go Global". Harvard and Yale have clearly stated that they will build their classes based on a global orientation and that the affirmative action or diversity they are looking for is based on the concept of a world economy and multi-culturalism. The importance of having International Education on a resume is crucial in the new millennium. When preparing the resume, an entire category of ‘International Education’ can be created 'Secondary and Higher Education' listings.

The parents and grandparents of a student can go a long way in encouraging and facilitating this international orientation and perspective by taking their families global, thus illustrating that they,too want to be life-long learners. The good news is that these trips are a great deal of fun and help families build wonderful bonds and memories they can build on and share forever! More and more families are trying to see how many of the 100 Manmade Wonders of the World they can see, experience and learn about together.

Remember, the majority of those who apply for top schools and jobs have exemplary grades and scores on standardized exams, but not everyone has the ability to "Go Global".

Not all individuals are comfortable performing and traveling outside the United States and only develop this through repeated international exposure and education. Many Fortune 500 companies now regularly transfer aspiring executives abroad with the expectation that they can and will perform at a world class standard of excellence. Employees are expected to “hit the ground running” and not require time to adjust to a new culture.
