| “I strongly believe that coming to Washington to do an internship was the right decision. I look back at this Semester and I see many of my goals accomplished. I have not only gained work experience but also made valuable friends, gained a better understanding of the U.S. culture, made great contacts, and had the opportunity to attend multiple Washington Center events. Just the chance itself of establishing a daily routine in the capital of the United States, a place where you find the most powerful people in the globe, was worth the whole experience. only turned me into a better professional, but also a better academic person.”

For more than ten years, the Governors Program has been preparing future leaders from Mexico to face the complex challenges of the twenty-first century. Nowadays, many Mexican Governors provide full funding to students competitively selected by each state government.
These participants come to The Washington Center to obtain professional and academic training in areas related to the economic and social development of their State and their communities. The program combines a 4 day per week internship with a full day of activities allowing students to enrich their knowledge and gain cultural and social experiences. During the semester, participants develop a project that impacts and improves the well-being of their regions by attracting investment or by representing a product or an industry. When they complete the program, projects are presented to their state governor.
To date, most of Mexico’s state governments have supported the program. Examples of participating States are Coahuila, Sonora, Campeche, Veracruz, Hidalgo, Morelos, Tamaulipas, Yucatán, Jalisco, Michoacán, Campeche, Quintana Roo, Aguascalientes, Guanajuato and Nuevo León.
As a new generation of young leaders emerges from this program, we are dedicating our efforts to strengthen our alumni association. Our leaders are placed in key positions in the private and public sectors. Bringing them together represents a unique opportunity to improve the results of our program for generations to come. Jointly with the alumni associations in each state, we are developing ways to collaborate and to involve them in The Washington Center's activities and programs.

| “I consider myself very lucky to be part of this experience; Now I would have the chance to apply what I learned here back in the public service in Coahuila. I’m positive that this experience will help me to become a better servant to the people and to climb high in my political career but also to contribute to the government projects and benefit society as a whole.”

“This part of my life has been especially productive for me and for my future objectives. I feel highly motivated to keep learning and at the same time to apply in Michoacán of what I’ve learned. I would like to thank our government for investing t in human capita and gave us the opportunity to know and life in a different society. This reaffirm my commitment to my State, my country and science”.

After more than ten years of working with Mexican public servants from all three levels of government (Federal, State and municipal), The Washington Center has solid experience training Mexican professional politicians through custom- made seminars.
We provide three-day seminars on many issues. We believe we can help you answer two major questions: How to win an electoral race? and Are you ready to govern?
