"I have learned many new things during my J-1 Training Program in Hana Maui Resort Hawaii. As a cook, I certainly need to know the basics of cooking, culinary fundamentals, kitchen operations, kitchen hygiene & sanitation. And I learned all of those things above here in Hana Maui Resort. And I also learned about teamwork in the kitchen because teamwork makes the dream work. Besides that, I got a lot of new experience in Hawaii, because Hawaii is known for their community. I got the chance to learn about beautiful Hawaiian culture, not to mention Hawaiian food is amazing!"

"My dream was to come to the US to work (or in this case get an internship) and thanks to ITN & Odyssey that dream came true! They are partners with many different hotels, offering all kinds of different positions, so there is something for everyone who is interested in the hospitality industry."

I highly recommend this program for those who want to live a unique experience and to apply for an internship in the USA. This is the best experience I’ve had so far, currently completing my training in Maui, Hawaii, and this wouldn’t have been possible without ITN & Odyssey! They have a wide selection when it comes to their portfolio and I am pretty sure anybody could find the place that suits them perfectly for this J1 experience.

"My experience with the program has been very wonderful! The host property where I am having my training itself advertises cultural diversity. I am training with so many different people with different cultures and races which is a ground for me to learn with them not only about training-related things. Not only this, but I got to experience things and activities for the first time here in the USA."

"This J-1 training offered a vast opportunity to grow my career. I have learned a lot at the St. Regis—from how to provide the best guest service in luxury to gaining great relationship with co-workers. Before we started our first day of work, they gave us a full intensive training for a week with Forbes, learning the sequence of service and tasting all foods and drinks in the menu including the allergens each food contained. Our managers and supervisors made sure we stay on top of our training, guiding and helping us throughout this journey. In this program, I have not only gained more experience and knowledge in my career, but also found new friends and family. Best part of this, St. Regis not only trained us and focused on our career-growth but also on our well-being by letting us experience various activities for free! Plus the double rainbow every after rain, IT'S MAGICAL!"
