The Local Oracle
You are seriously hometown proud. You love being the first to know about all the new spots to hang and love to return to the oldies but goodies in your, town, city or region. Become a local Guide and show our Explorers what daily life in your neck of the woods is really like!
The Traveler
You are paying it forward! You know what it’s like to be the new kid on the block because you’ve already done it. Maybe you are an Explorer who is studying abroad, traveling for work or fun or have relocated for work more times than you can count. Guide others like you to walk the path you’ve already traveled!
The Expert
You are quite simply, a PRO. You, or your organization, have the professional skills to teach a language, provide cultural training, or you may actually be a local tour guide. Contact us to participate in an Open Beta for Apto partners and promote your business.
Study abroad
Considering international education or cross-cultural exchange or have a study abroad experience already underway? Apto will help you explore your options, prepare to relocate, make friends, and adjust to both your new community and academic environment.
Learn a language
Sometimes you need to learn a language from the ground floor up or improve and enhance your skills. Apto language learning is built on CEFR standards but with immersive content that helps you learn in situations and contexts that make sense for your goals and destination. Or you can just learn virtually for fun!
Move to a new country
People relocate to a new country to start a new life, support their families, gain greater opportunity or security, but the process can be long and the path to citizenship even longer. Apto wants to support you every step of the way.
Communicate better with coworkers
Do you work for a multinational organization? Language may be a barrier, but it is often small cultural differences that make one stumble! And you may not even realize how a cultural misstep can harm your morale, productivity, negotiations, and more. Start to deeply connect even if it’s just over conference calls, emails and video chats.
Travel for fun or work
Nothing like going off the beaten path to find the local gems! Gain the language and cultural skills you need to safely enjoy your travels, or enter a world of virtual exploration when travel isn’t an option. The world is your oyster, friend.
Relocate for work
You have only a few weeks or months to prepare to relocate yourself and/or your entire family abroad. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime, but it’s also a major adjustment – from work to school to daily life – Apto’s got you covered.
