Skill Shortages

[rbuxton]

Hi Robin,

I am wondering if your business sends any trainees to the U.S.A. I am an immigration attorney working out of Los Angeles, CA and often get inquiries from persons, whether South African or from the U.K., who are interested in J-1 training visas. Many times these persons do not have a company willing to sponsor them however for such a training visa and often inquire whether I can point them to a placement resource such as yours.

Regards,

Hendrik Pretorius

Hi Hendrik

Thank you for your question.

At the moment, I only place EU students into other EU country. I'd like to expand this operation into other countries. However at the moment, I do not have a partner organisation in the US. Regarding the visa, I know that many US employers maybe reluctant to issue this type of visa for different reasons. Students can make things easier for them by going to: http:/www.IT-Visas.com/ This site has an online application form and makes it easier for employers to hire students.

Best regards

Robin
