Whether you are a qualified educator hoping to share your teaching expertise in an American classroom or a professional seeking hands-on learning experiences with a U.S. host organization, Vanteo provides clear and supportive pathways to help you explore J-1 program opportunities.

Teacher Program

The J-1 Teacher Program invites qualified international educators to share their knowledge, culture, and teaching practices with K–12 schools in the United States. This program promotes mutual understanding by allowing teachers to engage with U.S. students and communities while expanding their own professional skills and global perspective.

Who Qualifies?

Participants typically must:

  • Hold a university degree equivalent to a U.S. bachelor’s degree in education or the subject they teach
  • Have at least two years of full-time teaching experience
  • Demonstrate English proficiency
  • Meet the eligibility requirements set by the designated program sponsor

The J-1 Teacher Program is designed for cultural exchange and professional enrichment—not permanent relocation. Participants return home after completing their program to share their experiences with their home communities.

Intern & Trainee Program

The J-1 Intern and Trainee programs offer participants the opportunity to gain structured, guided professional development in the United States while sharing their culture and learning about American workplace practices. These programs are intended to support learning, skill-building, and cross-cultural understanding.

Intern Program: For current university students or individuals who have graduated within the last 12 months. Internships allow participants to build practical experience related to their academic fields.

Trainee Program: For individuals with a degree and at least one year of related experience, or for those without a degree who have five or more years of experience in their field. Participants follow structured training plans designed to expand their skills and global understanding.

Who Qualifies?

Participants typically must:

  • Meet the educational or experience criteria (student/recent graduate for Interns; academic background + experience for Trainees)
  • Demonstrate English proficiency
  • Intend to return home after the program to apply what they have learned

These programs are intended to support learning, skill-building, and cross-cultural understanding, not to provide employment or ongoing placement.
