practical skills that will enhance their
future careers. Bridging the gap between
formal education and practical work
experience and gaining substantive
cross-cultural experience are major
goals in educational institutions around
the world. By providing training
opportunities for current foreign
students and recent foreign graduates at
formative stages of their development,
the U.S. Government will build
partnerships, promote mutual
understanding, and develop networks
for relationships that will last through
generations as these foreign nationals
move into leadership roles in a broad
range of occupational fields in their own
societies.
On March 16, 2015, Assistant
Secretary of State for Educational and
Cultural Affairs Evan Ryan and Under
Secretary for North American Affairs for
the Government of Mexico Sergio
Alcocer signed a Memorandum of
Understanding to establish the U.S.Mexico Intern Program for four years.
This new effort is intended to increase
professional and educational
opportunities for youth in both
countries. The U.S.-Mexico Intern
Program advances President Obama’s
100,000 Strong in the Americas
Initiative. It also supports the goals of
the Bilateral Forum on Higher
Education, Innovation and Research
(FOBESSI), announced by President
Obama and Mexico’s President Enrique
˜
Pena.
To support this Program, which will
be implemented through the Exchange
Visitor Program, the Department of
State, Bureau of Educational and
Cultural Affairs (ECA), Office of Private
Sector Exchange (EC) wishes to
collaborate with currently designated
intern sponsors as well as other
interested entities to provide Mexican
citizens with internships and practical
training in the occupational categories
of Management, Business, Commerce
and Finance; Public Administration and
Law; Information Media and
Communications; and The Sciences,
Engineering, Architecture, Mathematics,
and Industrial occupations. This type of
immersion creates endless benefits for
the individual and for understanding
between the people of Mexico and the
people of the United States.
ECA/EC is prepared to authorize
separate designations to current intern
sponsors as needed to support the U.S.Mexico Intern Program. Beginning June
1, the Department intends to provide to
currently designated intern sponsors the
opportunity to submit designation
applications (Form DS–3036) in the
occupational fields of Management,
Business, Commerce and Finance;

Sfmt 4703
Public Administration and Law;
Information Media and
Communications; and The Sciences,
Engineering, Architecture, Mathematics,
and Industrial occupations. The
designation will be for a period of two
years, after which time the sponsor will
be required to submit an application for
redesignation per 22 CFR 62.7.
Interested entities that do not hold an
intern designation under the Exchange
Visitor Program should follow the
designation process set forth at 22 CFR
62.5, taking care to identify the
specified occupational fields outlined in
this Notice. Applicants are encouraged
to consult the User Manual for
