Benefits of the Career Training Program

Cultural Homestay International's Career Training Program (TP) is a practical "on-the-job" training in an American business for overseas University students and young professionals. The Training bridges the Trainee's course of study to their career development objectives. While CHI Trainees gain practical knowledge in their specialized fields, the American staff gains international cultural and business awareness. The Trainees not only gain valuable insight into the American business methods and practices, they immerse themselves into the American society and culture.

Cultural Homestay International (CHI) is designated by the U.S. Department of State to issue Form 2019 for J-1 Training visas to qualified TP applicants.

Career Training Options

CHI offers three TP program options. Some applicants prefer to find their own training while others, with more complex or unique professional fields of interest, delegate the locating and matching with appropriate Host Businesses to us.

The options are called:
1) Self-arranged TP - paid or unpaid
2) CHI-arranged TP - unpaid
3) CHI-arranged TP - paid

Benefit your Business

Cultural Homestay International would like to invite you to consider the many benefits of welcoming a well-educated and highly motivated international Trainee in your enterprise. Your staff will not only learn about the Trainee's country and its culture, but the eagerness of the participant to learn, the cross-pollination of ideas, and a novel, "outside-the-box" thinking will make your young overseas professional a  valuable member of your work team.
