Job description

360 Global Trainee Program | North America

• Full time
• EF
• Entry-Level
• General management

We're looking for exceptional recent graduates and postgraduates to be part of our highly selective 18-month, rotational Global trainee program.

Your time as a 360 trainee will fast-track your career through real responsibility, international rotations, and direct exposure to EF's senior leaders—but be warned, this program is not for everyone. If jet lag, long hours, and steep challenges put you off, look elsewhere. If you thrive when you can proactively problem solve, want to surround yourself with remarkable people, and are ready to move the business forward—but this program may be just what you're looking for.

As 360 Global Trainee, you will work closely with a senior EF leader who will mentor, challenge, and support you throughout your journey. Your tasks will be varied and unique - no assignment is too big or too small for a 360. We are seeking highly curious and forward-thinking candidates, with a strong interest in artificial intelligence and its application in business-but technical coding skills are not required. We value individuals who have the passion and capability to explore and think strategically about how AI can be leveraged to drive business innovation, amplify human potential and ensure a strong customer experience.

What you'll do

• Own impactful projects from day one
• Start in our North American HQ (Boston) and rotate through 1-2 other offices.
• Gain first-hand, front-line experience across EF's core business functions - including sales, business development, customer experience, and market development - while engaging directly with our customer base in meaningful ways.
• Participate in Global Trainee Summits designed for professional growth, networking, and collaboration with fellow Global Trainees and EF executives.
• Build deep insight into the world's largest privately-held international education company - its products, people, culture, and global mission

Who you are

• Bachelor's degree required, optional Master's and/or 1-2 years of relevant work experience
• Fluent in English (fluency in another language strongly preferred)
• International work and/or study experience
• Work authorization in the US without company sponsorship (if you have right to work in the EU/UK/Schengen, please apply to the Europe position)

What you'll bring

• Entrepreneurial drive and a "nothing is impossible" mindset
• Leadership potential with strong collaboration and communication skills
• Adaptability and problem-solving in fast-paced, multicultural settings
• Global curiosity and openness to diverse cultures
• Comfortable experimenting with AI tools in day-to-day work, with an eye for where they can improve efficiency, decision-making, or the customer experience

Annual compensation for this role is $75,000.

The program starts in September 2027 - will you be joining us?
