USA Internship Program

Why International Interns?

Utilizing international interns on the J-1 visa is an innovative and cost effective way to develop your workforce. CDS host companies agree that international interns are highly motivated, well-educated, and enthusiastically ready to help their organizations succeed.

Companies and organizations of all sizes benefit from utilizing international interns. Your company will:

• Gain fresh perspectives in business practices. Learn what similar companies overseas are doing and gain a competitive edge by adapting to their innovative methods.
• Develop and cultivate international partnerships. Open up your company to more business by creating new networks and developing cooperative ventures.
• Build an international workforce. Multinational corporations understand the importance of developing a workforce competent in the international marketplace.
• Save time and money. J-1 visa holders are exempt from paying Social Security and Medicare taxes (FICA) as well as the Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA). They are also enrolled in our health and accident insurance programs—saving you time and money in administrative costs.

This is your opportunity to take part in one of the longest running public diplomacy initiatives created by the United States. Join the community of hundreds of companies that have taken part in this CDS program. Please contact us for a reference from one of our clients.
