What is a Program Type?

When you are creating a program listing at Go Overseas, you will need to select what kind of program you are adding, this is what we call Program Type. 

Choosing the right program type will lead the right people to your listings so be sure to select the one that fits the most. 

We have broken down each program type so you have the information to make a well-thought-out decision.
