Many of our program participants have received the recommendation and contact data from fellow students who were previously at the company in the USA. Often Career Services and the International Office of the University also help in finding positions in the USA. Sometimes interns have previously gained experience at partner companies or branch offices in their home country or have a personal or family connection to the firm. Some students successfully use internet research and look for companies, especially those with business connections to their home country or with specializations which closely match the student’s studies. It is important in these applications that you can convincingly argue why the company would benefit from an international intern. It is especially important that you are clear with the company that the J1 Visa process does not cost them any money and does not require much of their time. If you would like to do an internship in the USA and you do not have time for the company search and application, you can use our placement service for an internship in the USA. We primarily provide unpaid internships for three or four months in the field of your study. For internships or training in the field of hospitality, we provide 12 months paid positions in 5-star-hotels/resorts and in fine dining restaurants.
