• What about insurance?  All students arrive fully insured.
• What about housing?  The local chapter of IAESTE will assist you and the intern in locating housing.

• How many countries are in the IAESTE network?  The number is constantly changing, but currently there are more than 80. Approximately 30,000 students apply to IAESTE worldwide.
• If this person arrives and does not work out, am I obligated to keep him/her?  No.  We do request that you do everything possible to make the arrangement satisfactory, but if it just is not working, you may terminate employment.
• What is my legal responsibility?  As the legal sponsor, IAESTE United States/AIPT assumes responsibility for your interns while they are in the United States--with respect to the J-1 visa and immigration matters. AIPT/IAESTE United States is designated by the Department of State to issue J-1 visa documentation.
