Testimonials from SMEs
“From the employer perspective I see these main
benefits in participating in NEU’s co-op program:
•
•
•
•
increase awareness for globalisation and
internationalization
improve language as well as social skills of the
teams and among all employees
establish intercultural experience also among
employees that are typically not traveling
internationally
fresh input to the organisation through ‘digital
natives’.”

“Dealing with young American generations is a great experience for Small Medium Enterprises from all
over the world especially if they are interested in doing
business with the United States. If the employers let
the students express their ideas and personalities, they
have the privilege to understand the US customers’
perspective. We are talking about new generations,
these students will be the new managers we’ll be
dealing with in the next few years.”
