a question about the international college program

[romanarms]

i enterd the internet sites about disneys international college program and everything but there are are still several things that i don't understand:
1- can i go to the international college program even if i live outside of the u.s. in a country that is not one of the countries in epcot world showcase?
2- they say in the site that in order to apply i need to be enrolled in a university.. how can i be enrolled in a universoty if i live in another country? or do they mean that i need to already be in a university in my own country?

please please please answer me, i really want to know.. thankes.

1- Yes. I have seen ICP CM's from Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Spain, Russia, and South Africa.
2- You need to be enrolled in a University in your home country

1. Yes, you can work in other areas besides those featured at EPCOT. I had a friend from Canada who work at Magic Kingdom Outdoor foods. When I did my College Program in Quick Foods there were many ICPs from Mexico, Brazil, Japan, France and China.
2. The people from different countries were enrolled in colleges and universities in their countries.

Hope I helped!

thankes... i have one more question:
-what do you ectually learn in this college program, that is uniqe to this disney college program, can this thing help me if i want to become an imagineer in the future?

Most CP jobs are entry level positions and you won't likely learn any skill you would benefit from in the long run, however having Disney on a resume/CV is quite an asset. You could network hysterically while on the ICP and make contacts within WDI, but it's unlikely.

It depends on what international college program you are doing.

I am going back in july and i will have graduated from my english university by then.

Where are you from?
