My journey into the world of exchange did not just begin with the founding of a renowned educational institution, but with a deep insight into the transformative power of international education and experiences.
In expanding SEDA beyond Irish borders, I sought to not only provide quality educational opportunities, but also share the enriching experience that an exchange provides.
Awakening to exchange
Since founding SEDA College in 2009, our mission has been clear: to open global doors through education.
Recognized for excellence in teaching and innovation in learning, SEDA has been a starting point for thousands of international students, including Brazilians, looking for personal and professional improvement in Ireland.
The expansion to Natal, Brazil, and the opening of a new unit in Cork, Ireland, are testaments to our commitment to accessible, quality education, preparing students for a globalized world.
Personal experience: transformation and growth
Going on an exchange is immersing yourself in a new culture, learning a new language and, most importantly, discovering yourself amidst challenges and achievements.
My own exchange experience shaped the way I see the world and defined the direction of my career. It was this personal transformation that inspired me to create more and better opportunities for other young people through SEDA.
Expansion and innovation
The transformation of SEDA Intercâmbios into a franchise is one of our most significant expansion strategies.
This allowed rapid and sustainable expansion, taking advantage of local knowledge to strengthen our brand and guarantee the quality of teaching in all units.
Additionally, we provide ongoing support and training to franchisees, maintaining the high standards that define the SEDA brand.
The impact of the exchange on my life
Going on exchange taught me about resilience, adaptability and the importance of keeping an open mind.
These lessons were fundamental not only to my personal growth, but also to the development of SEDA College as an institution that truly prepares students for the world.
Each new unit we open under the SEDA brand not only generates revenue, but also serves as an advertising point, increasing brand reputation and recognition.
Conclusion
Looking back, it is clear that the decision to embark on an exchange and, subsequently, to found and expand SEDA College, transformed not only my life, but also that of thousands of students around the world.
I am deeply grateful for every challenge and success along this path. The exchange journey is a testament to the transformative power of education and international experience, and I am dedicated to continuing to offer this opportunity.
