Presentation
The American Institute of Baking�s internship program was started in 1999
to enable international graduates of AIB�s 16-week Baking Science and Technology
course to gain on the job experience in a commercial baking environment.
AIB grads have worked in New York and Chicago baking facilities during
the past year and have profited enormously from this exposure to food production.
After graduation from the Baking Science and Technology course, in May and December of each year, graduates are offered practical training in the form of internships by various baking/allied companies. The company provides either a monthly salary or living accommodations and a stipend for food and miscellaneous expenses. Exposure to several different aspects of the baking industry from R&D to marketing is most desired by graduates. Graduates must depart the U.S. 30 days after graduation unless an extension is requested through the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service.
If the graduate is not already employed in his home country, the company can offer a full time position to the AIB graduate. Conversion of the M-1 visa to an H-1 visa, allowing a prolonged stay of up to 6 years or more is then possible. The local Immigration and Naturalization Service offices can provide details.
Eligibility for AIB scholarships
1. International students need to have a baccalaureate degree, (4-year) in food science, food technology or a related discipline.2. Candidates for scholarships also need to agree to work in the baking/allied industries in the U.S. for at least two years after graduation.
