How to become a commercial director of a large trading company from a teenager who lives in a small and poor village? It is possible if you are a graduate of IUCA.

When I was 17 years old, I could not have imagined that coming to IUCA would give me the opportunity to see half of the world, to work in the best companies in different countries, to get acquainted with a variety of people, to study their culture and life.

After graduating from IUCA I had a huge baggage of knowledge, which was not just information in my head, it was a really necessary set of skills for survival, competitiveness, growth and achieving any goals in the modern world. Critical thinking, communication skills, honesty, respect, different language learning techniques, psychology, business and financial management, IT knowledge - these were the skills that allowed me to push the boundaries of my abilities and views.

Thanks to IUCA I was able to visit 14 countries, lived in Taiwan (one of the most technologically developed countries) for 10 years, and grew up to the head of a whole department in one of the leading industrial companies of this country.

Now I live in the UAE, work as a commercial director of a large trading company in the heavy industry and all the knowledge I gained at IUCA still helps me to grow and achieve my goals.
