We are an officially designated U.S. Department of State sponsor for the Exchange Visitor Intern and Trainee Programs. That means we understand the visa process and the requirements involved in receiving approval.
First, we do all the paperwork. We make certain that you meet the eligibility and program participation requirements. If you don’t, we help you understand what you need to do in order to qualify.
Second, we match you to a great position with an American business from within our network of partners. That business becomes your host employer. We work with some of the biggest corporations in America and we are selective about the companies we choose to become host employers.
Third, and most important, our job as your visa sponsor is to ensure that both parties, you and your host employer, are committed to mutual benefit and collaboration. This means we make sure that the opportunity is a good fit for you and for the host employer. We ensure that you get the most out of your cultural exchange experience and that your host employer is committed to you. Host employers are required under the program to provide you with the necessary work experience to learn the skills that will allow you to grow professionally.
