Host Your VIE in the USA with the FACC

Empowering Young Professionals, Supporting Your Business

The VIE (Volontariat International en Entreprise) program is a unique opportunity for French companies to send young professionals abroad to support their international growth. In the United States, the FACC facilitates this process by hosting VIE participants, providing comprehensive support, and ensuring a seamless experience for both the company and the participant.
