SACC-USA is a designated J-1 visa sponsor of the U.S. Department of State’s Exchange Visitor Program which promotes educational and cultural exchange in order to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries.
Through the SACC-USA Talent Mobility Program, we support both companies seeking skilled Swedish interns and trainees, as well as Swedish and Finnish citizens seeking practical training opportunities in the U.S. By issuing the Certificate of Eligibility (DS-2019), we make the Exchange Visitor Program simple, time-efficient, and cost-effective. We offer a range of services to both host companies and program participants.
Since 2006, more than 1,000 individuals have participated in Swedish American Chamber of Commerce´s programs, interned, or had traineeships in the United States via SACC-USA.
Please note: The Exchange Visitor Program is intended solely for educational and cultural exchange. It cannot be used for regular employment or other work purposes.
"My internship experience has been fantastic. I’ve had the opportunity to work with inspiring people from various companies and industries. In addition, I’ve had a skilled and supportive team around me who have always been there to help when needed. It’s been great that the internship has led to continued involvement with SACC-DC. The relationships built through SACC have opened up new opportunities and expanded my professional network."
Björn Porlein , Trainee 2022-2023
"As a young student, an internship at SACC is a great opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. During the internship, you also get the chance to network with many interesting people across various industries, which is incredibly valuable for my future career."
Emma Hastö, Intern 2023
"SACC is a fantastic opportunity to gain an international start to your career. As an intern, you are given a lot of responsibility from the very beginning and the chance to build a broad network with both Swedish and American companies. It’s a strong Swedish community where everyone is very supportive and looks out for one another. It is a great network to be part of right after graduation.."
Linnéa Fredriksson, Intern 2023
