The J-1 Intern and J-1 Trainee programs are designed for university students and young professionals to train at leading hotels and hospitality organizations around the USA for up to 12 months. The Intern/Trainee program provides on-the job exposure to American techniques, methodologies, expertise, and enhances the participant’s knowledge of American culture and society. You can then bring these experiences back with you to your home country.

ELIGIBILITY

  • Intern: a foreign national who either:
    1. Is currently enrolled in and pursuing studies at a degree- or certificate-granting ministerial recognized post-secondary academic institution outside the United States?

  • When a candidate can be categorized in the intern or trainee category they are theoretically able to participate in a J-1 Exchange Visitor Visa Program. However, in order to safeguard the quality of HGH’s candidates and to maximize the high rate of successful hires, HGH has set a few additional requirements.
