The U.S. Embassy is inviting anyone who ever went on a J1 Summer Work and Travel Program, or any other U.S. exchange program, to take the experience one step further and join the J1 Connect event on September 25, 2014 at the RDS in Dublin.
The day will include prominent J1 speakers from the world of politics, business, academics and the arts. Workshops will cover a variety of topics including understanding U.S. visas, studying in the United States, strategies for setting up business in the United States, insider tips on travel trends, and coaching on professional networking. A J1 business showcase will highlight the huge impact the J1 has had on Irish entrepreneurs and business. The day will end with a celebration including prizes and live music provided by Derek Ryan – for those who never learned to line dance on their J1, and for those who did.
Whether your J1 summer just ended, or is a more distant memory, J1 Connect is an opportunity to celebrate this “rite of passage” exchange.
