If the student believes, based on their research, that the employer might have a specific interest in Cuba it could work to their advantage. Or really, seeing as what an exceptional case travel to Cuba is, they could include it in a resume to grab an employer’s eye. <br /><br />But I think it might be confusing to call it study abroad. Although there is debate among international educators over what “study abroad” means and the related terminology I think we have to keep in mind what most people understand as study abroad (e.g. from one month up to a year abroad attending classes). According to the commonly held idea of study abroad this doesn’t fit. I would use, perhaps, the title that was used officially by the company/school that organized it. <br /><br />Speaking from personal experience, I went to Slovakia in high school for a week and, although it wasn’t for classes, it most certainly made on impact on me and my concept of the world. I don’t think you necessarily have to be somewhere for a long time for it to be eye opening and educational.<br />Mariahttp://evergreenexchange.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
