World Learning

This department is a great organizaiton that works with kids around the United States encouraging culture, diversity and traveling. It give children a opportunityt to experience worlds apart from their daily life, a new scenic view and oppotunities that they are not aware of living within their own bubble. Managments is hands on along with allowing everyone to do their job at their own speed and pace. Eating lunch daily together was always encouraging, sitting and talking about what was going on professionally, personally and academically. I was attending school while working at the center on campus. It was one of the most enjoyable jobs I have had in a while, the people were great along with learning new things everyday about international standards, study abroad programs and seeing the final project completed. The office was on full throttle everyday, while walking into the office with your own song of the day.

-unreasonable expectations, including being told to keep your phone on 24/7, take work phone calls in the middle of the night, be on-call to work at all times, the only way to grow is to work harder and longer hours, and work should be the #1 priority in life -very little help from HR in managing issues -supervisors have no management training -they don't care about entry level employees


No Training anywhere exist  to  middle management people on how to manage their employees. There is no consistent policy about how to manage subordinates. Feedback about supervisors should be taken seriously. Nobody should be told that they need to put work before everything else in their life.

I worked as a UGRAD intern and the experience is simply what you make of it. Did a lot of administrative work in anticipation of the UGRAD (exchange students) who met in DC before wrapping up their study abroad programs in the US. 

It's an office dominated by millennials and a friendly environment.  Not difficult work as long as you're focused on the tasks at hand. Time management key as I found myself juggling multiple projects. 

The most enjoyable parts are the occasional parties that the UGRAD team or World Learning as a whole hosts. Great opportunity to get to know people and network.

I enjoyed being a part of World Learning.  The staff work very hard to give their program participants a high quality experience.  Upper level management has a wealth of experience.  I can't say I ever had a bad day, but I was only an intern and didn't really work there.  The only drawback it seems is the salary.  Otherwise, great mission, great location, and staff were great to work with.

- I work through out the week with my colleagues. I have learnt a lot of lessons in solving challenges wherever I trael to regions with stakeholders.I prefer authritarian type of management. My co-workers have talent in creating team spirit. Security challenge in field trip in remote areas is the worst challenge I was facing. Team spirit of the organization is unforgattable.

I had a wonderful experience working with my team at World Leaerning Inc, they were warm and welcoming when I started and gave me great insight throughout my time working with them. When my short time working with them ended they warmly sent me off. I am honored that I can say I worked with such a great company and will gladly work with them again.

While there is a social young crowd at World Learning, the older generation can have outdated views--at sometimes racist. Despite multiple complaints over years, the organization recently changed culturally insensitive pictures that decorated the hallways. Human Resources does not function and there is a high turnover.

World Learning is a decent place to work, but you work very hard for very little money.  It is rare to get a promotion unless you have a special connection to management.  They promote inclusion in what they say - but do not implement it in practice.  Lots of time spent in useless meetings.

I was both a graduate assistant and a facilitator during the summer of 2011. I cannot be happier for the experience working with youth from Mexico, Iraq, and Denmark then what I am now. YPL taught me so much about teamwork, leadership and effective communication that i still use.
