World Education Program (WEP) Australia was formed in 2001 in cooperation with WEP International. WEP International (which now has offices in Belgium, Italy, and Argentina) was the result of a conversation between two former Belgian exchange students who decided that they wanted to enable other young people to experience the adventure of student exchange. Nineteen years on, WEP International has opened the door for thousands of students, providing them with a rewarding and successful future through education abroad. Secondary Outbound ExchangeThe core outbound program for WEP Australia is the secondary exchange program. This involves Australian students going overseas for between three months and one year. Students live with a volunteer host family and attend a typical local high school so that they have the chance to really live the life of a teenager in another country. Does WEP Australia guarantee country of choice?Yes, providing you meet the acceptance criteria and possible language requirement. Is WEP Australia experienced in operating exchange programs?Yes, our staff have been managing these programs for more than 16 years and are very experienced. There are a number of ways you can become involved with WEP Australia. You may like to host a student, want to be an exchange student yourself, or perhaps you are a teacher, parent or a returnee and would like to become involved in our coordinator network. WEP Australia employs full and part time staff in its head office and part time people outside of Victoria. All head office staff are experienced internationally - they have lived and worked overseas, their children have participated in exchange programs, they have hosted international students and they have studied at secondary and tertiary level overseas.  |
