In March, we had the pleasure of leading Learning Expeditions in New York with students from esteemed institutions:

• a group from CFA FormaSup Pays de la Loire;
• three groups from schools affiliated with the IONIS Education Group: ISG RH, MOD'SPE Paris, and XP The International Esport & Gaming School.

It was an enriching experience for all involved, and we look forward to many more such ventures in the future.

Over the course of 4 days, we closely accompanied a group of 18 students through 5 engaging presentations. Among these, we dedicated one session to impart insights on the J-1 Visa program, opening doors for students to explore internship and traineeship opportunities in the United States.
