Benefits and advantages of the program: |
|
|
Internship Training Programme is to enhance the skills and knowledge of qualified trainees in their field through participation in a structured training programme. It improves the participants understanding of American business practices and methodologies as well as enables the overseas participants to gain valuable insight into American culture and society.
The Host Business helps the participant gain a thorough insight in his/her career field. There may be different methods in which the Host Business conducts the training - through observation, rotations through different departments, training seminars or research.
For the first two weeks at the Host Business, the participant should expect an introductory period whereby the Host Business may need to assess the participant's skills and goals and objectives before assigning specific tasks and/or projects. Also, while the Host Business makes every effort to keep the participant fully engaged in interesting activities, there may be "down" times in which the Host Business will ask the participant to do basic tasks in their field of focus and/or general tasks in the office such as clerical work.
