CIEE Services

CIEE’s customer support services extend not only to those participants who are already enrolled on the program but also to those who are just beginning the process. By choosing CIEE as the sponsor of your J-1 program, you will be entitled to the following services:

Help Locating a Training Position: CIEE’s Trainee Select service will allow you to search through a listing of open training positions, and apply to those that match your career interests. For more information, click here.

Application Assistance: throughout the application process, CIEE Partner Representatives in your home country or country of residence will help you complete your official Trainee Program Application and to provide you with updates as your application is processed.

Pre-Departure Orientation: before you travel to the US you will also be provided with an online orientation and a Trainee Program Handbook that will answer many of the questions that may come up during a typical training experience.

Health and Travel Insurance: CIEE provides all sponsored Trainees with coverage against the typical risks associated with international traveling. For detailed information on this policy, please click here.

Toll-Free Customer Service: trained CIEE support staff can help you answer any program-related question you might have. Simply call the Customer Service line at 1-888-268-6245.

24-Hour Emergency Support: in the event of an emergency, you can also reach CIEE at any time.

Online Program Evaluations: to help you have the best experience possible, CIEE requires that Host Companies and Trainees complete program evaluations at the mid-point and end of the training program. By reviewing these evaluations, CIEE is able to ensure that the training program is able to meet both parties’ expectations.

Regional Networking Events: as a forum for bringing current Trainees together and allowing them to interact with CIEE staff, CIEE occasionally hosts networking events in larger metropolitan areas throughout the US.

J-2 Visas for Dependents: all dependents of CIEE-sponsored Trainees are eligible for a J-2 Visa. Applications for J-2 Visas can be submitted with your official CIEE Trainee Program Application.
