The duration of your language practicum may not exceed the duration of stay in the US allowed by your visa. Company fields: finance, media, the arts, IT, education, travel and tourism, law, and community services. IMPORTANT NOTE: The industry, social context or business field may not relate to your studies or professional background: it is understood that the time you spend in these organizations is exclusively for your personal enrichment and does not constitute professional training, employment or promise of employment, present or future. Neither the school nor the company, organization or social group may be held responsible for damages or injuries sustained by you during the time you spend on their premises, except for what established by statutes. In order to be accepted into this program, you must provide proof of medical insurance/coverage in the US. The program is meant primarily for those on the visa waiver program or tourist visa, but a student visa holder could also take part, since after an F1 visa student finishes his or her course, they have a grace period of 60 days to be in the U.S. |
