Application Process
CETUSA offers two application formats in each category:
Self-Placement Program
This application format is available to eligible Trainee and Internship Program applicants who have secured trainee/internship positions with a U.S. company. A completed CETUSA Application, which includes a trainee/internship plan draft (Form DS 7002 Training/Internship Placement Plan), must be submitted by the program applicant prior to receiving a sponsorship decision. Please allow 2-3 weeks for application processing.
CETUSA Placement Program
CETUSA attempts to assist international students and young professionals with meeting their career advancement goals in the U.S. Some applicants may choose available program positions offered by internationally-minded host companies interested in our programs. Program candidates who secure a training or internship program through CETUSA’s host company network apply per CETUSA Placement Program terms. All participating host companies are carefully pre-screened, and they may have successfully hosted trainees or interns in the past. CETUSA’s Trainee and Intern program office assists host companies and qualified candidates in matching their program goals. Once a position has been offered, applicants are requested to follow standard application procedures.
If you do not see a position that reflects your career advancement needs, we suggest submitting your profile on our website. Your profile will be seen by many U.S. businesses interested in international, career-minded individuals like you.
