J-1 cultural exchange visas that let you work, train, and build your career in America — through programs designated by the U.S. Department of State.

Spend your summer working and exploring in the United States. Open to university students, this program lets you gain real American work experience, earn an income, and travel during your break — then return home to finish your studies.

Build your career with hands-on training at a U.S. host company. For current university students or recent graduates within 12 months of finishing, the Internship program runs 1 to 12 months in fields like hospitality, business, and education.

Take the next step in an established career through structured training with a U.S. employer. For professionals with a degree plus 1 year of experience — or 5 years of experience without a degree — the Trainee program runs 12 to 18 months.
