Give your knowledge a practical setting
Join a US team and put your degree to work. Contribute to projects, learn from experienced colleagues and return with examples of work you have actually done. For your next employer, that is much more useful than another course on your CV.
Leave with a placement, not a job-search plan
Your US employer is arranged before you travel. We help you turn your degree, projects and experience into a clear application, prepare you for interviews and coordinate the placement and J-1 process. For students finishing university in India, the intended start date matters as much as the graduation date: we review both at the outset.
Families can join the discussion about the role, pay, location and cost of the move. Budget for the period before your first pay arrives as well as your programme and travel costs.
A decision you can discuss with your family
We can include your family in the conversation about the employer, pay, visa process and costs. You will have the placement details before travelling, so everyone understands what you are going to do.
Clear terms before you commit
You receive a private proposal with the programme fee, inclusions and placement guarantee. Your employer pays you separately for the work you do.
We also set out the costs to budget for, including visa and SEVIS charges, insurance, flights and living expenses where these are not included. That gives you a clear picture of the move before you enrol.
A paid role, arranged through Aureus
Your programme includes CV and interview preparation, employer placement and J-1 coordination. We confirm your route against your education, experience and intended start, then give you a private proposal before you enrol. Your employer offer sets out the work, location, hours and pay.
Questions for your next step
Can I apply after graduating from an Indian university?+
Yes. The J-1 Intern route can fit graduates whose programme begins within 12 months of graduating from an eligible institution outside the US. If you graduated earlier and have relevant work experience, we can assess the Trainee route.
Can I apply with an Indian degree?+
A relevant qualification from India can be considered. Programme fit depends on the institution, subject, study or graduation status, experience and proposed start date; an Indian degree does not by itself confirm acceptance.
How are host interviews arranged?+
We arrange introductions to suitable US employers and prepare you for interviews. This is part of securing your paid placement, rather than leaving you to conduct your own job search.
What does paid mean?+
Yes. Our paid US placement programmes put you with an employer who pays you for your work. Your offer confirms the pay, hours and role before you travel. The employer’s pay is separate from the programme fee.
