Our Career Services
The French-American Chamber of Commerce has helped prepare thousands of international young professionals and students for a future in the global economy through our International Career Development Programs (ICDP). We first opened our doors to exchange 60 years ago under the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act (the 1961 Fulbright-Hays Act), when we brought young French professionals to American subsidiaries of French companies. Since then, we have expanded our services to offer a range of exciting options for professional and student exchange, including our CareerConnect internship/job board and our reciprocal American Outbound program to sponsor Americans to work in France.
ICDP further supports cultural exchange and international career advancement through a long-standing partnership with Business France, providing J-1 visas to eligible European citizens to participate in internship and training programs as French Volunteers for International Experience (V.I.E.s). Our U.S.-based sponsored training program has benefited more than 66,000 young French men and women since 1983. Simarly, through our partnership with the Office Français de l’Immigration et l’Intégration, we have facilitated training opportunities for Americans in France since 1992 in industries that include banking, media, journalism and architecture.
