Host an Exchange Visitor
Are you looking to bring international talent to your organization to exchange knowledge and expertise?
Would your organization benefit from a foreign national serving as a Researcher for up to five years or perhaps you need a Specialist to serve as a consultant or to provide training or expert knowledge for up to one year?
Alternatively, Intern or Trainee participants, who are college/university students, recent graduates or young professionals with work experience, can share their skills and insights with your team while gaining exposure to U.S. culture and receiving hands-on experience in U.S. business practices.
