Internship Program USA

All trainees are motivated, highly qualified English-speaking individuals who wish to gain practical work experience, while sharing their talents and cultural background with their American host-companies. Likewise, many companies in the U.S. have benefited by hosting German trainees and continue to contact us about hosting new trainees through our Internship Program USA.

The procedure for the placement of applicants is as follows:

Applications are kept in our database jobXchange and taken into consideration for all incoming training program offers. Applicants who appear to be qualified for a position according to their educational background and qualifications are contacted by the GACC. A pre-selection process is carried out by telephone interviews and then top-candidates are presented to the host company, which makes the final decision.

Once a selection has been made the GACC takes responsibility for all preparatory work necessary to ensure the smooth and efficient integration of the trainee into his/her new training environment. This involves the procurement of a J-1 visa as well as the necessary health/accident insurance for the trainee. 

Once a successful placement has occurred, the GACC requires a placement fee. The fee ranges from $995 to $2465 depending on the status of the trainee as well as the length of training. Fee determination is made once the GACC has received an application.

For participation in the Internship Program USA the following points should be considered:

1. Trainees must have completed vocational training or be students or recent graduates with a German background in a field related to the training program. 
2. Trainees must be able to communicate fluently in English. 
3. Training program offers are mainly within the areas of business, science and engineering.
