We Don't Mean to Brag...

www.caep.org launches new testimonial page to pass along some comments received by trainees and hosts. Here are a few of the comments:


CAEP program is excellent preparation for life for people like me who just completed university and are starting their career.
Juraj, Enology trainee from Slovakia


My program was in agriculture and livestock through CAEP. It was a very rewarding experience. Thank you CAEP for giving me the opportunity to see different cultures and business methods that can be applied to our home country.
Santiage, Agriculture trainee from Uruguay


When I was in Brazil I was living far from my parents. I learned a lot, I did everything alone. But my experience here was very amazing. I learned a lot about my area, how to live in other country, travel, to look for other sides of problems, to think different ways, help more each other, and respect people more. So, for sure this was the main experience of my life.
Rafael, Horticulture Trainee from Brazil


We consider CAEP a very important partner not just in finding suitable candidates from international sources, but also in processing all internal international leads from former interns, trainees and other industry contacts.  We direct all foreign inquiries to the Enology Coordinator at CAEP to begin the application process and to systematically secure the needed paperwork and arrangements for this very important part of our harvest planning.  The result has been a very rewarding experience for many harvest seasons.
Jamie, Enology Host


With CAEP, there is always somebody to help you if you needed. That's very important when you are on your own so far away from home. And very nice people too!
Guillaume, Horticulture Trainee from France


CAEP provided a great opportunity for me… my coordinator was always there for me for any help I needed.
Ajay, Turf Management Trainee from India


The logistics of getting screened and qualified interns from overseas to us, with a work visa in hand, and ready to work through the season is completely facilitated through CAEP making our effort minimal.  With Skype we are able to even have a face to face interview prior to accepting the applicant.  We couldn't be happier with the results we get in Interns of the highest caliber with most of the effort handled by CAEP. 
David, Enology Host

I can say just that I'm very happy that I participate in this program. This was one of the best experience from my life. I met here great people and I'm very lucky that they are my friends.
Vera, Horticulture Trainee from Moldova


Fernando's work ethic and desire to succeed far exceeded my expectations. He is extremely responsible and professional. Thank you for this wonderful program. We feel it is a win/win situation!
Renee, Equine Host

The CAEP is an opportunity to get great training, learn more about different cultures, find new friends, strengthen communication skills, improve English and improve one's employment opportunities in your home country. As a CAEP trainee, you can learn about the farming or business techniques used in different countries. I like CAEP and I'll recommend CAEP to my friends.
Ievgen, Horticulture trainee from Ukraine

I had an opportunity to learn many things, improve my English and develop my skills in the agronomy field.
Marcella, Horticulture Trainee from Brazil

CAEP is a great opportunity, well-structured and extremely helpful staff.
Eoin, Equine Trainee from Ireland

I learned to work on the field at Tractors 9200 JD, 8630 JD and 4440 JD, drive trucks,
snowmobiles, also raise spring wheat, malting barley, oil sunflowers. Thanks a lot CAEP. It was great practice; I gained a lot of knowledge with a great organization.
