We are the largest J-1 Agriculture program in the world. Over 20,000 trainees have come to the U.S. to live and experience life with our host families and businesses. Many have found careers and run large farms, nurseries, wineries and horse operations in their respective countries. Some have just racked up the experience as a life experience in growing up. But all have loved the opportunity to "drill deep" into another culture through our programs.

The Business Model
CAEP works with CAEP Partners* to recruit young people to come on our programs. These "trainees", or "interns" come to the U.S. from 3 to 12 months to "learn and earn" at one of our hosts. They pay fees that include; Partner, fees, the price of the ticket, insurance, and  fees to CAEP for placement, management, and certification.
*Partners is collectively, Recruiters, Recruitment Offices, and Country Partners.

As a CAEP Partner, you have access to our online systems for worldwide application processing, marketing/presentation /technology assistance in building your market, financial assistance programs, and opportunities to develop a hosting business in your own country for worldwide participants.

There are three levels of partnership with CAEP:

A Recruiter is an individual, who wishes to register with CAEP directly, and/or CAEP and a CAEP Recruitment Office for the purpose of selling CAEP products.  Often this is a past CAEP participant who wishes to supplement and eventually build a business to recruit participants to the CAEP program.
