The Lake Orion Sunrise Rotary is seeking a young professional between the ages of 25 and 40 to spend a month in Turkey on a full-paid educational and career development trip.
This cultural and vocational exchange opportunity is part of The Group Study Exchange program offered by the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.
The team will go to the Rotary district that includes Bursa in the north (towards Istanbul) down to Fethiye (towards Antalya) in the south. The dates of the exchange are April 21 to May 21, 2008.
The trip will provide team members with opportunities to develop relationships, exchange ideas, observe their own vocation as practiced abroad, and enhance their international perspective.
The trip may also be a good way of promoting awareness of a team member’s business or organization, as local and international media may feature the exchange.
An eligible applicant must be in the early stage of their career, having been employed in their chosen field for at least two years. An applicant may not be a member of the Rotary club or directly related to a member. They should be enthusiastic about their vocation, and a cooperative team player.
Applicants can come from any number of work backgrounds, including corporations, small businesses, nonprofit organizations and government offices, among others.
If you or someone you know would like to learn more about this opportunity, go to www.rotary.org and search for GSE.?
