SEC America’s job as a consultant is nothing more or less than just that, to CONSULT! What separate us from others are the passion and the drive for excellence. We are knowledgeable coming from the positions as a Helper to a great student exchange representative, to Representative, to Field Manager, to Regional Director, to the Program Director, to Public Relations Director and to Outreach Director for a student exchange group of companies.
Our basic knowledge comes from the local experience of hosting 55 international exchange students from throughout the world. Personally, we acted as a local coordinator/manager placing and supervising 49 to 76 students each year. Everything in student exchange starts and depends on the quality of the local level.
As a Program Director, our team hired, trained supervised while guiding a motivated field staff into a leading program nucleus while going from 179 students in many previous years to 526 in a time of just 10 months. That group of representatives and managers are still together today and operating as an excellent team of professionals. Their quality of work is beyond reproach and shows outstanding professionalism in the student exchange industry.
