Designated by the U.S. Department of State as a J-1
training visa sponsor, ICLS' International Exchange and Business
Training Program places talented international students and young
professionals with American host companies for 3-18 month internships.
Our host companies do not bear any cost for their candidate’s J-1 visa
program and are in no way legally responsible for maintaining visa
status- leaving them free to enjoy the benefits of hosting an
international trainee.
Why Choose the J-1 Visa and ICLS?
With our network of international recruiting partners in
4 continents, IEBT/ICLS can keep up with your needs, whether you need an
intern right away or for a project down the road.
Many companies receive inquiries from candidates but
cannot provide visa support on their own. If you have chosen an
international candidate for an internship or on-the-job training
position, IEBT/ICLS will take care of your trainee’s J-1 visa
application from start to finish.
To find out how IEBT/ICLS can benefit your company,
please contact IEBT Program Staff at (202)639-8800 or at
iebt@icls.com.
