BCIT is taking applications for their 2023 Summer field school programs to either Japan or Italy!

BCIT Business Summer Field Schools combine academic lectures held by BCIT instructors and international guest speakers with company visits and immersive cultural activities at international locations. By attending a field school you’ll have the opportunity to receive credits for academic courses, learn about international business practices by visiting multinational companies, and ultimately, be fully immersed in the local culture.

I don’t even know how to cook properly, I thought.
