SWEDISH AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE | GEORGIA

Host an intern 

Our internship program offers companies and organizations in Georgia to host highly qualified and bilingual interns from Sweden for a stay between 6 and 18 months. With a minimum age of 21, many of the candidates have received a bachelor or master’s degree in topics like technology, marketing or computer programming, and some of them have already gained experience and specialized skills within their field.


The Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce (SACC) assists host companies by: 

  • Matchmaking, we will find the right candidate, based on your specific needs.
  • Making the arrangement, including application for a J-1 visa
  • Providing an introduction for the intern
  • Providing an easy visa application process, where SACC will be the sponsor
  • Provide you with a contact person at the chamber during the internship

Benefits for the host company:
