Why?
What’s in it for the expats, their family and their company?
International Mobility is common sense these days. Relocation abroad is a huge step and a challenge: changes to a new environment, a different language, another climate, a new school for the children… The target of a Cultural Training is to gain knowledge of the new culture and to avoid misunderstandings. Practical strategies which will facilitate integration. We make you feel at home. A well prepared expat with a happy family will maximise success and minimise failures of foreign assignments!
