USA Internship Program

The USA Internship Program gives students and young professionals from around the world the opportunity to intern/train in the United States on a J-1 visa. Programs may last from 6 weeks to 18 months. They are designed to promote professional development and cross-cultural understanding.

In addition to J-1 visa assistance, the USA Internship Program provides:
