Justification for on-the-job training
On-the-job training is incorporated into the hospitality intern or trainee program in order to reinforce formal classroom learning by allowing the intern the opportunity to apply learned skills and to develop expertise through hands-on practice under close supervision. It is essential for two reasons:
1. Much of the training needs to be acquired by actually participating in the processes or in meetings with the persons that are responsible for performing specific functions within an operation or organization.
2. On-the-job training opportunities allow U.S. interns and trainees to develop relationships with persons or entities who are able to provide them with problem solving resources and skills which will assist them in performing their jobs at a higher standard upon return to the home country.
The visa J-1 participant will receive payment for his practical training period. The stipend will vary from $1,750 USD to $6,000 USD per month (this depends on the candidate’s profile, location and position offered). The visa J-1 intern or trainee will be responsible for the expenses associated with traveling from their home country to the training location.
