Impact of EAP
"I wouldn’t say my EAP experience in Lyon, France has helped my job search in the States nor influenced my long-term career goals. But it was an important force in helping me decide to join the Peace Corps. Confronting the unknown of life in an African village was a lot less scary after having successfully completed a year abroad in Lyon. I've been serving as a volunteer in two Francophone countries (Comoros and Guinea) and I give my EAP experience almost full credit for the fact that communicating in French has not been an obstacle for me here. My French proficiency has allowed me to devote more energy to my work and learning the local language. Peace Corps has been the most influential experience of my life to date, and I credit my EAP experience for helping me to succeed with my work here."
