Trainee Program /J-1 Visa Service
How it works
SACC-USA assists corporate members in the search for suitable and well-qualified candidates for available trainee positions.
Over the years the SACC-USA Trainee Program has developed into a successful opportunity for companies as well as for young professionals. The SACC-USA Trainee Program and J-1 visa service can be used for Swedish students seeking summer internships, newly graduated students seeking longer training programs and/or for 18-month visas for Swedish employees wanting to engage in rotation programs. Once a match between a host company and a trainee has been made, SACC-USA will help the host company in formulating a training plan and help the candidate with the visa application, making sure that rules governing the visa are followed. SACC-USA is a J-1 visa sponsor designated by the U.S. Department of State. This means that SACC-USA is authorized to issue the document DS-2019, which is a necessity for any Swedish trainee seeking a J-1 trainee visa.
