Exchange Visitor Program— 

Establishment of a Private Sector U.S.- 

Mexico Intern Program 

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Intern 

Program. 

SUMMARY: The Department of State 

administers the Exchange Visitor 

Program pursuant to the Mutual 

Educational and Cultural Exchange Act 

of 1961 (Pub. L. 87–256) as amended, 22 

U.S.C. 2451, et seq., also known as the 

Fulbright-Hays Act (the Act). The 

purpose of the Act is to increase mutual 

understanding between the people of 

the United States and the people of 

other countries, including through 

educational and cultural exchanges. As 

set forth in 22 CFR part 62, such 

exchanges are facilitated, in part, 

through the designation of public and 

private entities as sponsors of the 

Exchange Visitor Program. 

The Intern category is one of 15 

categories under the Exchange Visitor 

Program. The purpose of the internship 

program is to provide foreign nationals 

who are currently enrolled full-time and 

pursuing studies at a degree- or 

certificate-granting post-secondary 

academic institution or graduated from 

such an institution no more than 12 

months prior to their exchange visitor 

program begin date a period of workbased learning to allow them to develop 

practical skills that will enhance their 

future careers. Bridging the gap between 

formal education and practical work 

experience and gaining substantive 

cross-cultural experience are major 

goals in educational institutions around 

the world. By providing training 

opportunities for current foreign 

students and recent foreign graduates at 

formative stages of their development, 

the U.S. Government will build 

partnerships, promote mutual 

understanding, and develop networks 

for relationships that will last through 

generations as these foreign nationals 

move into leadership roles in a broad 

range of occupational fields in their own 

societies. 

On March 16, 2015, Assistant 

Secretary of State for Educational and 

Cultural Affairs Evan Ryan and Under 

Secretary for North American Affairs for 

the Government of Mexico Sergio 

Alcocer signed a Memorandum of 

Understanding to establish the U.S.- 

Mexico Intern Program for four years. 

This new effort is intended to increase 

professional and educational 

opportunities for youth in both 

countries. The U.S.-Mexico Intern 

Program advances President Obama’s 

100,000 Strong in the Americas 

Initiative. It also supports the goals of 

the Bilateral Forum on Higher 

Education, Innovation and Research 

(FOBESSI), announced by President 

Obama and Mexico’s President Enrique 

Pen ̃ a. 

To support this Program, which will 

be implemented through the Exchange 

Visitor Program, the Department of 

State, Bureau of Educational and 

Cultural Affairs (ECA), Office of Private 

Sector Exchange (EC) wishes to 

collaborate with currently designated 

intern sponsors as well as other 

interested entities to provide Mexican 

citizens with internships and practical 

training in the occupational categories 

of Management, Business, Commerce 

and Finance; Public Administration and 

Law; Information Media and 

Communications; and The Sciences, 

Engineering, Architecture, Mathematics, 

and Industrial occupations. This type of 

immersion creates endless benefits for 

the individual and for understanding 

between the people of Mexico and the 

people of the United States. 

ECA/EC is prepared to authorize 

separate designations to current intern 

sponsors as needed to support the U.S.- 

Mexico Intern Program. Beginning June 

1, the Department intends to provide to 

currently designated intern sponsors the 

opportunity to submit designation 

applications (Form DS–3036) in the 

occupational fields of Management, 

Business, Commerce and Finance; 

Public Administration and Law; 

Information Media and 

Communications; and The Sciences, 

Engineering, Architecture, Mathematics, 

and Industrial occupations. The 

designation will be for a period of two 

years, after which time the sponsor will 

be required to submit an application for 

redesignation per 22 CFR 62.7. 

Interested entities that do not hold an 

intern designation under the Exchange 

Visitor Program should follow the 

designation process set forth at 22 CFR 

62.5, taking care to identify the 

specified occupational fields outlined in 

this Notice. Applicants are encouraged 

to consult the User Manual for 

Temporary Users of SEVIS (How to 

Complete and Submit the Form DS– 

3036, Exchange Visitor Program 

Application), Version: 6.19, dated 

March 10, 2015.
