How many hours per week am I required to train?

Oct 18 2014

J-1 Interns must participate in training activities for a minimum of 32 hours/week, as described in their official Training Plans (DS-7002). Internship activities can vary depending upon factors like the host school, mentor teacher, interests, goals and abilities of the intern, etc. Check with CICD directly for suggested training activities.

Please note: Failure to participate in a J-1 internship for a minimum of 32 hours/week is grounds to end the internship.
