BridgeUSA · J-1 Visa
What is the BridgeUSA J‑1 visa?
The J‑1 visa is the cultural exchange program administered by the U.S. Department of State under BridgeUSA. It brings international students and young professionals to the United States to live, train and work with American host organizations sharing their culture while learning American hospitality first‑hand.
Participants complete a structured internship in their field at upscale hotels, private clubs and resorts then return home with the skills, language and international experience that shape their careers. IHC manages the journey for both sides: recruiting, documentation, visa guidance, housing and on‑site support.

Throughout my internship I was able to work in different sections at the Club. Moreover IHC gave me the possibility to get supervisor training and to listen to sales conversations. In the end I was very proud of myself and I wouldn’t have made it without the support of IHC. All the experience I gained during that time made me strong and helped me in my further career.
