| Re: New RULE for DS2019 arrangement
The Department of State has published regulations
establishing a new Internship program and revitalizing the Training
Program.
The regulations will
go into effect July 19, 2007.
The new regulations
allow the Department of State to closely monitor the quality and
compliance of exchange programs while simultaneously expanding the program
to a larger audience of participants.
The
regulations outline the long expected Internship program and make
significant alterations to the existing Training Program.
The aim of the program continues to be for students
and young professionals to gain exposure to US culture and business
practices and ultimately take those skills and knowledge back to their
home countries to share with their peers and further their careers.
We have summarized the main points from the
regulations and have outlined both the training program and internship
programs below:
Training

certificate granting post secondary institution with one year of work
