With any of the exchange programs, professionals are invited to participate in an intensive professional and cultural program in the designated country which may run anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.

All of the exchange programs require professionals to meet certain criteria in to participate. The exchange programs also include both on and off site ventures and experiences to allow for a broader scope of observation and experience.
