INTERNSHIP / TRAINEE USA

About Work And Travel Program

The J-1 Internship/Trainee program in the United States is designed to allow university students, recent graduates, or young professionals to come to the United States to participate in a structured and guided work-based learning program to foster professional development in the intern’s or trainee’s specific academic or occupational field. Upon completion of the program, J-1 intern or Trainee MUST return back to home country to share the obtained experience.
