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.
What Is the VIE Program?
The VIE program enables French companies to deploy young professionals internationally for up to two years. In the U.S., participants come under the J-1 Trainee or Intern visa, offering them a chance to gain valuable experience while supporting their company’s U.S. operations.
