CULTURAL EXCHANGE
All J-1 visa programs are programs by the U.S. Department of State and are Cultural Exchange Programs. It is important all candidates on a J-1 visa are exposed to the American culture and must have ongoing contact with American employees in the workplace. Around 90% of candidates go to the United States on a J-1 visa program to experience US culture and they express an immense curiousity in Americans as a result. Employers must ensure candidates are exposed to the American culture, and that American employees are exposed to the culture of the international candidate. This is a win win as it opens your door to international perspectives, practices and methodoligies. In addtion it motivates and creates a great team dynamic as pernement team memebers are seen as valuable US Cultural Ambassadors, promoting US culture and team unity.
