I highly recommend the J-1 visa for a shorter-term employment experience in the U.S. Much like a study abroad program, interning or training abroad is an incredibly enriching experience. Eula talks about the process for sponsoring international interns and Luka shares his advice on getting the J-1 and interning at Verkada. Luka is from Canada and interned at Verkada while working on his bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Waterloo. Įula is a Senior Associate of People Operations at Verkada and oversees the J-1 internship and traineeship programs.

I recorded a podcast on this topic in which I interviewed Eula Chu, PHR and Luka Sokic of Verkada, a fast-growing tech startup in the Bay Area, about their experiences with the J-1 visa program. as an intern or trainee, the J-1 visa is a great option to consider.

If you are interested in working in the U.S.
