What Bad Economy? and J-1 Training as Compared to J-1 Internship
Dear friends,
“Why are American’s complaining about their economy when over 90% of the people have jobs?” I was asked recently by a Brazilian friend, who pointed out the fact that “bad” is a very relative term; “We always have about 15% unemployment in Brazil.” I asked a friend in Jamaica and she said they usually have about 20% unemployment. But, the US is in really great shape when compared to the Philippines. It is estimated that 10% of the entire Philippine population lives abroad because of the lack of work at home.
J-1 Training as Compared to J-1 Internship
J-1 Training and J-1 Internship are very similar in that both offer on-the-job training and include a training plan with phases to expose participants to a variety of experiences. Internship, though, is considered a lower-level program for students while Training is aimed more at experienced professionals.
This week we have several new open positions in Lake Tahoe at a beautiful resort hotel with a wonderful history.
