Graduates from our programs learn intercultural awareness, development skills, and gain expert knowledge on the regions they are working in. One World Center’s unique ethos equips students with the necessary skills, knowledge and perspective to go on and make a real impact in whatever they decide to do next.
Some of our graduates leave to pursue careers directly related to development, while others have made use of the training for involvement in analyzing and solving many of the problems that contemporary societies now face.
Our graduates have gone on to work for a range of organizations including:
Humana People to People
UNICEF
Doctors Without Borders
Development Bank of Latin America
A Participant’s Perspective
“I learned how to lead a team, to organize a women’s club, to fundraise, to live in a community and to solve conflicts by being emphatic and good in communicating.”
“One World Center opened me the doors to a network of worldwide humanitarians.”
“The investigations and practical activities were very important to develop useful skills I use today as a Firefighter.”
“Through this program I learned to develop a project and to make plans in a collective environment. This has been very useful to further my career as an independent movie maker.”
“I will never forget the time that I spent in Africa and the frinds that I made while in US.”
“I joined OWC because this wasn’t just a two week trip but an actual long term experience creating sustainable development and working in a team.”
