Their service is impeccable and they help you throughout the entire process. I felt very satisfied and grateful for their work, and they are extremely prepared for the job they do. I came as a J1 to work as an intern at a company in New York and the experience has been incredible. They helped me realize a personal dream and also introduced me to the American job market. I am in the process of revalidating my studies and without a doubt this experience is being fundamental for the construction of my career. I highly recommend this company to everyone and you can trust their services because if you hire them, you will be in good hands. Thank you so much Stage Global.

The service provided by Stage-Global exceeded my expectations. They are so helpful, always checking in and accommodating me with all my concerns. It was a smooth process and I will definitely recommend it to my friends. My supervisor and collegues are very helpful with everything and we really work as a team. Time really flies so fast and I'm halfway of my training program but I know I'll learn more. I'm really glad to have this opportunity to explore and learn the culture and at the same time, widening my experience as an accountant. Gained new friends here as well and I've attended parties, charity events, and having a tour around the city especially on weekends.

It was stressful (mainly because of my school) but the guidance was very pleasant and persistant, which made it a lot easier. I booked a hostel for the first days of adaptation, which gave me time to find accommodation. The company have very kind people who help you with anything they can and I really enjoy their guidance.

Stage-Global helped me a lot during the process. I could not have found an internship without them. Only the housing search is really hard. They could provide some more help on this. It was quite difficult to find housing, but after searching for a long time, I have found a nice apartment. Really like the company.

They went very well I think also because I have already been through the J-1 visa process once before which made it easier to understand what was going on. It was definitely great that Stage-Global organized the sponsor.

Stage is very fast when it comes to updating the participants so it is commendable. I was given 6 days free accommodation by my host company.

I love that I don't have to arrange all the paperwork for the internship. Also, any question is answered in a areally short time frame which is good. Overall, really satisfied with the service! It is quite an expense, but a lot of these costs are also costs one would have any ways because of all the visa costs. Found an apartment via Roomies.com, living with one other American. Really nice environment, kind supervisor, learned a lot. City is not always as safe, but overall I felt safe.

The placement service was excellent. The coordinators were always available when you needed them. Everything was simple and smoothly. I found a great housing at the beggining of my program.

Overall, I love the experience, it was a great opportunity to know how everything works in the US and know more about the culture and its people. The company was good, it took me some time to adapt to their culture and the way things work in a small/medium company in the US but overall it was a great experience, the company went through all the stages of the program and I received the training I was expecting. I used the website roomie to find accommodation. I left a post and found a nice place shared with two other people with a private room

The preparations for the program went very well. The appartment situation was the hardest part for sure, but in the end all went well. Even thought my first choice was Italy and there was no program that was suitable for me in this country, I really enjoyed being in Germany and I loved my intership very much.

My host company was amazing.

My host company was amazing. I got along with my co-workers nicely, they were very thoughtfull and helped me with any issues. I learned a lot during my internship, as I was involved in the daily activities and any business developments. My supervisor was kind and taught me a lot about e-commerce & sales.

I started a little late regarding my preparations, but Stage USA made all the different steps for preparation very clear for me. Therefore, it went really smoothly. It was a really interesting company with very nice people working there. The company was located on Wall Street, which was surreal for me to work there.

From the very beginning, the Stage Global team was very supportive and friendly during the whole process of my finance internship in the White Plains. I found a second family, thanks to Stage Global!!

I am thankful for everything, the placement and all the support. I am glad I asked StageGlobal to be my assistence within this journey. My internship has been fantastic; everyone in the company was very warm and welcoming from the very beginning. They trained me and involved me within every step of the company. So, it made me feel appreciated and respected. My internship company recommended Webster Apartments. It's a female-only apartment complex in the city. It was very fun because it was close to everything, and it had great facilities. I also got the chance to meet other girls from other states and countries who were also interning in New York. It was an easy way of making new friends and feeling secure. My weekends were always exploring a new (touristic) place in NYC, or I was working during the events of my internship, which was also very fun to do.

I am in love with Stage-USA!

Stage-USA helped me find an amazing internship in San Diego. I had the best time of my life - and the company in the US they found for me was the best company ever. Stage-USA also made the process for the J-1 Visa go very smoothly and provided me with a housing guide, which made it very easy to find housing in San Diego. I would definitely recommend Stage-USA to anyone else who is looking for an internship in the United States. They are the best!

I have always been interested in going abroad to develop myself and also to be in contact with different cultures. Being abroad and leaving your comfort zone is definitely a rewarding experience. It is a journey measured in friends, personal growth, and opening horizons. This personal growth and the acquisition of new experiences has been my inspiration.
