Work placements in the US
27 May 2010
The supply of work placement positions in the US appears to have picked up since the beginning of this year: a trend that is expected to continue.
Students who want to do a work placement in the US need a J1 visa, which they can apply for at the US consulate in Amsterdam. However, they first need a work placement permit (DS2019), which they can apply for through Nuffic.
The website www.wilweg.nl tells students all they need to know about obtaining a work placement permit. They can also apply for this permit through the website. However, students must find a work placement either themselves or through their study programme. Our website also provides tips and information on the practical aspects of work placements abroad.
If you are keen to help your students to arrange a work placement in the US, post our weblink www.wilweg.nl on your website or intranet.
