J-1 Visa Program Presentation: Understanding How the J-1 Visa Program Works
Below are the materials from a presentation for those interested in understanding how both the U.S. Department of State’s Exchange Visitor Program and ACIP’s J-1 internship and training programs work. This presentation is an excellent overview of the J-1 application process and a useful tool in deciding whether an umbrella program, like ACIP, is the best choice, or if an in-house program would better suit a client's needs.
The presentation also touches on topics such as how J-1 programs can benefit your organization, how to write a comprehensive training plan, and potential regulatory changes to the program that are on the horizon.
