Host a Trainee/Intern or Domestic Apprentice in your Business

Description:
Becoming a CAEP host is one of the most rewarding and enriching experiences that a family or a business can participate in. Imagine being able to help a young person learn a new culture and language and assist in launching their career by showing them the insights of what makes the U.S. a great agricultural economy.

CAEP trainees take a break from combining

For more than 20 years, the experiences of our hosts have been unique. From the hosts in California who have an extended family of over 45 trainees that they visit all over the world, to the host in North Dakota who has expanded his grain operations to market to former trainees in other countries. Then there is the host whose son fell in love with a former Swedish trainee and now lives in Sweden with his wife. Finally there is the host who has expanded their wine holdings in Australia, South America, and Europe and brings their trainees to the U.S. for corporate training as part of their employment trianing in their overseas operations. The benefits of hosting are immeasurable.

CAEP hosts also become members of our parent organization, Communicating for America (CA).  CA is a national non-profit membership association consisting of over 100,000 small business owners throughout the United States.  Membership benefits can be found at http://www.cainc.org.
