IA&A is a designated J1 trainee and intern visa sponsor and issues the signed DS-2019 form (Certificate of Eligibility) necessary to apply for the J1 trainee/intern visa. IA&A provides vital support throughout the J1 visa application process, helping candidates to understand and complete the application procedures once the internship/training placement has been arranged.
We accept applications for placements in visual and performing arts, arts management, industrial design and interior design, graphic design, architecture, media and communications, marketing, finance and business in the arts and culture, crafts and design, and performing arts management. IA&A also considers applicants seeking experience in management and commerce.
