Internship Training USA

Accommodation Details

Programme A – Self-Arranged Training

All applicants are responsible for their own housing. Participants in Programmes A and B are required to submit housing information to their coordinator within 48 hours of arrival for validation in the SEVIS programme. Failure to submit this information, or any change of address during the programme, may result in the trainee’s visa becoming invalid and cause him/her to have illegal status in the US.

Any Self-Arranged Trainee paid by his/her host business will be responsible for any U.S. local, state and federal taxes.

Programme B – Global Choices Arranged Paid Training

All participants are responsible for their own housing. Global Choices will provide each applicant with assistance in finding housing at their placement location. The intern is responsible for securing and paying for his/her own accommodations. The intern is also responsible for abiding by the housing management’s rules and terms.

Programme C – Global Choices Arranged Training and Housing Placement (Unpaid)

There are two housing options available. The applicant is required to select one option at the time of submitting the application:
• Living with a pre-selected host family;
• Arranging independent accommodations

If the Host Family housing option is selected, we will place the participant with a well-matched and pre-selected family. The host will provide a sleeping area and two meals a day during the working week (three on weekends). In the most cases, the Host Family will prepare meals for the participant. However, many American families have very busy schedules. There may be some situations in which the participant may be asked to prepare a simple meal such as a sandwich and soup.

The participant is expected to be courteous when sharing the family’s resources such as the television, phone, computer, bathroom etc. He or she should respect the Host Family’s rules about drinking, driving and dating. The participant should make every effort to communicate and interact with the Host Family as much as possible in order to enhance the cultural exchange aspect of the programme.

Should the participant select the independent accommodation option, we will provide suggestions and assistance in locating an apartment or alternative boarding.

Do not hesitate to contact our staff should you have any questions.
