Intern Placement Program

IAESTE’s placement program utilizes a network of over 80 international counterparts to locate highly qualified technical or scientific interns to meet your team’s needs.

The process

1. Complete an Offer of Training form (.doc) detailing the internship requirements to enable us to recruit for you.  The priority deadline for application is December 15th, 2012.
2. In January, IAESTE United States will exchange your position with an international office, creating a reciprocal position for a US student to train overseas.
3. Once you have confirmed that the nominated student is a good fit, our office takes care of the visa administration, insurance and logistics.  If you are located in one of the areas supported by an IAESTE student group, you will receive additional support with airport pickup, housing and recreation for your intern.

Program Fees

The per-intern fee includes J-1 visa sponsorship for the participant as well as all administrative fees. The totals below do not include insurance for the participant; medical insurance is required and is the responsibility of the intern.  Employers who would like to provide insurance for their intern as an additional benefit may purchase it through IAESTE United States for $46 per month.

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, IAESTE United States depends on program fees to offset the costs of administering programs. All interns must be paid by the employer. On the Offer of Training form, please state the salary, which should cover living expenses; most IAESTE interns are paid between $8 and $12 per hour (national average of $400/week).
