It is impossible to avoid the figures of the current economic crisis, and the negative statistics can seem intimidating: unemployment rates are rising, job losses are frequent, and colleges and universities are turning away a greater percentage of applicants than ever before.

With an Expanish program you can avoid becoming just another statistic and use the global recession as a time for personal growth and development.

Read on to find out how learning a language and gaining cultural experience in a foreign country can help you

• Increase your chances of being accepted into college, university, or a graduate program
• Find your ideal job
• Improve your résumé or CV during a career break
• Keep your job and boost your promotion potential

The climate is competitive, and so to succeed you have to compete.  In a buyer’s market employers and interviewers are looking for that extra little “something”; they are looking for well-rounded individuals with a range of skills and depth of experience.

Having completed an Expanish program could be your extra little something that will set you apart from the crowd.

As if the chance to spend time in the vibrant and exciting city of Buenos Aires wasn’t temptation enough, the home of Expanish also makes perfect economic sense as a study destination. Since the cost of living is low here in comparison to North America, Australasia or Europe, you get a highly valuable and enjoyable experience in return for a relatively low financial investment.

How can Expanish help set you
apart from the crowd?
Here’s how:

Expanish Spanish School
A foreign language is a lifelong skill and the key to a whole new world of opportunities.  Spanish is spoken by around 350 million people worldwide and, especially in the U.S., is invaluable as the second language of business.  Even if you do not choose to live and work in a Spanish speaking country, language skills are highly regarded by any employer or institution and will be an asset to any application.  Since Expanish offers a wide range of cultural activities alongside our language courses, studying with us will broaden your chance to apply your skills as well as the range of your vocabulary. 

Study Abroad

A student that graduates from a study abroad program finishes their education with far more than a piece of paper.  Studying in an Argentine institution is not only an aid to comprehensive language proficiency, but a cultural immersion that represents a broader learning experience than can be gained in a library or classroom.  Even aside from the scholarships that Expanish offers, university tuition fees in Argentina are extremely reasonable and you might well find that you will save money by completing graduation requirements here in Buenos Aires.  

Volunteer Programs

Volunteer work is an increasingly popular option for those looking for a life-changing experience that will also bolster their résumé or CV.  By volunteering you can not only learn from the local culture but also give something back in return; it is a profound and positive cultural exchange that is highly beneficial to both sides.  What is more, completing a volunteer program marks you out as somebody who is willing to devote time and energy to something in which you believe.  It is a sign of enthusiasm and dedication that will be recognized by any future employer or interviewer.

TEFL Programs

An English-teaching certificate is not just a qualification; it is a ticket to global working opportunities.  The English language is in high demand, and by teaching you can gain access to a literal world of job offers and paid travel options.  Teaching experience is also highly regarded by employers in other sectors and by further education institutions, so your qualification will continue to pay dividends when you choose to leave the classroom.

Don’t let the economic numbers get you down -
with an Expanish program you can stand-out rather than be just a number!
