News and Notes

When to carry your documents Recent legislation in Arizona has gained national attention, and highlights an important consideration for J-1 Training and J-1 Internship participants: when to carry legal documents. The answer is simple and clear. Legally, trainees and interns must carry their documentation at all times. This would include the passport (with J-1 visa stamp) the I-94 card, and the DS-2019 form. Please warn any participants about this law and advise them to prepare accordingly. |
Time for
Recruiting If your property is looking
for qualified hospitality candidates for training or internship programs,
this is a great time of year to be recruiting. Hotel schools in Switzerland,
the Netherlands, and Australia are currently planning their Fall career
fairs. Hundreds of candidates will be attending these fairs, searching for
positions in the US. Please let WISE know if you are interested in receiving
more information about the upcoming career fair schedule, and we would be
pleased to help you get in touch with the sponsoring schools. |

English
proficiency requirement
|

According to J-1 visa regulations, “Participants must possess sufficient proficiency in the English language to participate in their programs.” Sponsors are required to ensure that participants are sufficiently proficient in the English language to participate in their exchange programs before they enter the United States. This requirement supports the goal of creating an environment for cultural exchange, as well as creates a stronger foundation for training. At your service! An F&B trainee welcomes guests in a
resort in Colorado. While WISE or its partners conduct interviews either in person or by web camera with every applicant, it is important that candidates are also screened for English through an interview conducted by the host site. The host site knows best the specific needs of the business, and the challenges that come with a particular position. While it is expected that participants who speak English as a second language may not be perfectly fluent from the beginning, they should have a working knowledge of the language which is both sufficient for completing their assigned duties, and strong enough for the expression of a concern or to ask a question. |
