BASICS OF THE
CCP PROGRAM
Why Study with YFU in the US? Why Choose a Community College?
Educators, employers, parents, and alumni all agree that the benefits of international exchange reach far beyond the time
a student spends abroad. Many participants have found that their YFU experience helped to open doors, greatly enhancing
both their educational and professional opportunities. YFU will help prepare you for your responsibilities and opportunities
in a changing, interdependent world.
Diversify Your Curriculum Vitae
YFU programs are a valuable way to enrich your resume. While studying abroad, participants vastly improve language
competencies and learn many skills necessary to make them competitive in the job market. Students find that their
overseas courses help them develop effective learning habits and prepare them for more intensive and fulfilling careers.
Employers who hire a YFU alumnus know they are making a solid investment in a person who is flexible and has an elevated
level of maturity, superior problem solving skills, and an intuitive understanding of another country and its people. In
today’s competitive job market, fluency in another language coupled with the ability to comprehend another culture gives
YFU exchange student’s career advantages they wouldn’t have otherwise.
