Response from API
We are so sorry that your daughter did not have a positive experience on this program. That is neither the experience of our other interns nor what we want for students. From our conversations and this post, it seems that her expectations for the program did not align with the program description. All of our career-related programs, including this one, are described in detail for students to understand the program for which they are applying. Once accepted, students then meet with a career coach and the leader of the project in France, who further explain the substance of the program. Soon thereafter, an itinerary of events is shared with students. The Fashion and Luxury program is a unique, project-based program that introduces students to various luxury fashion houses in Paris through behind-the-scenes visits. Students are then assigned to a project related to the visits and work as a team under the mentorship of an expert in the field.
Again, we are very sorry that this isn’t the experience your student expected. We have heard your feedback and will consider it, as we always endeavor to improve our services.
