We can’t wait to learn about your journey, and how TGP can be a catalyst in your personal and professional growth.
To create a future that is truly sustainable, equitable, and inclusive we need everyone involved.

We invite you to bring the fullness of who you are to your TGP experience—to be you, with us. Please tell us how we can best support your learning.

What Participants Gain: How TGP Makes a Difference

Amanda Berta
Undergraduate Student - Energy Engineering at Pennsylvania State University, Renewable Energy Engineer at General Electric
The GREEN Program (TGP) stuck out on my resume. When I interviewed with General Electric, they were very interested in my Capstone Project that we created on the program. It's what pushed my resume through.


Christopher Wang
Recent Graduate - Supplier Management Analyst at Grainger
The program has the perfect combination between hands-on applications, information, and adventurous activities to really push you out of your comfort-zone. The material was informative, and all the activities added value to the overall experience. Seeing the educational material firsthand with the industry visits was really eye-opening.


Lisa O'Brien
Young Professional - Data Analyst at Google
This program turned out to be so much more than I could have ever expected. I feel excited for the future again, and more confident that I can take on these challenges. I've learned something new from everyone I interacted with. It's never too late to change directions. I'm so grateful for the experiences I had and the friends I made.

The GREEN Program is amazing in not only relating what academic programs teach to real world experiences but also integrating the academic outcomes. This is an outstanding experience that every student in related disciplines should have as it provides a multidimensional, multinational, and interdisciplinary experience. This is a very well organized program.

TGP is an incredibly well put together program. The attention to detail is incredible. They have literally thought of everything! I asked every “what if” question and “in the case of” question, and they had an answer and a solution already in place! As a parent, I would highly recommend this program to any parent, and more so to any student wanting to join a study abroad program.
