              Core Program

              The Core Program places international professionals in the Central Ohio area. The program is coordinated by the CIP office, which manages the participant’s training experience, cultural needs and compensation. Participants live with a host family and participate in arranged cultural activities.


              The participant is responsible for providing round-trip airfare, program administration fee ($700 up to $1,500 depending on the number of months you participate), health insurance and money for their personal expenses (approximately $200-$500 per month). CIP can provide room/board through host family living (for programs beyond four months apartment living with a roommate is provided), orientation to the U.S. and the affiliate city, cultural and/or educational opportunities, a local transportation stipend, and in some cases a small living stipend. The support for this program is funded through the training site.
