Are you ready to embark on a truly challenging and transformative journey?     Our global trainee program is available to recent graduates and postgraduates with 360 degrees of talent and vision – but it is not for everyone. This program is highly demanding. If you are deterred by jet lag, the idea of being totally hands on, or working long hours, then it is probably not for you.   If, however, you are inspired by the idea of taking on new challenges, surrounding yourself with remarkable people, and taking real responsibility for moving the business forward – then this program may be just what you’re looking for.   As an EF 360 Global Management Trainee, you will work closely with a senior EF leader who will mentor, challenge and support you throughout your journey – a journey that will provide experience across a variety of different business units, departments, functions or perhaps even locations.    Your tasks will be varied and unique, ranging from things like conducting research to gather insights on market trends to co-creating global marketing campaigns to analyzing data for launching products in new markets. No assignment is too big or too small for a 360.     The 18-month program is based in our US headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Throughout the program, you will experience:  A unique opportunity for exposure to and interactions with our senior leaders Hands-on experience in a variety of business functions In-depth insight into the world’s largest privately-held international education organization Engaging international summits, focused on professional development and networking with other 360s and EF leaders Our innovative products, dedicated people, vibrant culture, and the profound impact our business and mission have on the world as the global leader in international education. We guarantee you will be challenged, receive real responsibility, and implement interesting projects while working with international colleagues across the globe.   We are looking for candidates who possess a sharp combination of quantitative and qualitative skills, a “nothing is impossible” attitude, and are ready to collaborate with teams and lead projects. You are a self-starter who takes initiatives and runs with it.       The Program   The 360 Management Trainee Program is designed to provide a comprehensive and diverse learning experience for aspiring leaders. The name “360” reflects the program’s holistic approach, offering trainees exposure to a wide range of tasks and responsibilities across different departments and locations.

This rotational structure ensures that trainees develop a well-rounded understanding of our operations.   As a 360 trainee, your experience will be transformative.

Others are in the Business of Finance…Sports…Or Soft Drinks.
At EF, we’re in a different kind of business.
One that’s a little less tangible, and a lot more important.
Because our business, what we make, makes everything else possible.
We’re in the Business of Understanding.
Between people. Between cultures. For over half a century we’ve been the leader in international educational programs and experiences designed to foster such understanding.  Through Language, Cultural Exchange, Academic Studies, and Educational Travel, we create the kinds of immersive experiences that challenge biases, open minds, and pave the way for a more understanding world.   You’ll find our 115 offices located in some of the world’s greatest cities, and filled with smart, driven people who push each other to be better every day. And yes, we have technology, we have finance, we even have sports with our own professional cycling team.  But it’s what we do with it – Building greater understanding, breaking down barriers, and creating a better world…that makes all the difference.
