  • Share your industry expertise while mentoring emerging global professionals

  • Build long-lasting international networks

  • Foster cross-cultural collaboration within your team

Host Organization Requirements

To ensure a high-quality experience for all participants, host organizations must meet the following standards:

  • Legal Entity: Must be a legally recognized U.S. entity — such as a business, nonprofit, or educational institution.

  • DS-7002 Training Plan: A comprehensive training plan is required, outlining objectives, skills to be developed, supervision methods, and evaluation procedures.

  • Supervision & Evaluation: Ongoing, structured supervision at the worksite, along with periodic program evaluations, is essential.

  • Financial Stability: The organization must demonstrate the financial capacity to support the trainee for the program’s duration.

  • Structured Learning: Training must follow a clear, structured format and be aligned with the trainee’s academic or career background — it cannot be simple on-the-job work.
