A successful exchange program that helps businesses in Door County fill jobs during past summers is hoping for a comeback after a one-year hiatus caused by COVID-19. The J-1 Visa Summer Work Travel program will be discussed at a virtual meeting at 1 pm on Thursday. Door County is hosting a J-1 Visa Employer Update on Zoom with Intrax Accounts Manager Stacie Tollaksen sharing the new insights and developments. Destination Door County Membership Director Phil Berndt says Tollaksen is a seasoned sponsor of the J-1 Visa program.
The meeting is free of charge but pre-registration is required. The cultural exchange opportunity for foreign students has brought over 500 workers into Door County during the peak tourist season in recent years. You can find a link to preregister for the virtual meeting below.
