Through the Teacher Exchange Visitor Program qualified pre-school (language immersion), primary and secondary teachers sharpen their professional skills and participate in cross-cultural activities in schools and communities, and they return to their home country after the exchange to share their experiences and increased knowledge of the United States and the U.S. educational system. Schools that host visiting teachers report the achievement of new levels of diversity, professionalism, and social and cultural awareness.

The Trainee Exchange sponsors residents of other countries with significant experience in their occupational field to receive additional training in the United States. The Trainee Programs include the opportunity for interested foreign nationals to receive hands-on training through structured, field-specific training plans. The benefits of this program include enhanced skills and expertise of exchange visitors in their academic or occupational fields.
