A key goal of the Fulbright-Hays Act, which authorizes the Intern and Trainee categories, is that exchange visitors will return to their home countries and share their experiences in the United States. The goals of the agreement, signed on October 11, 2024, are to give eligible Swiss and U.S. citizens the opportunity to acquire hands-on professional experience in their field of study; improve their knowledge of U.S and Swiss languages, cultures, and skills; and encourage participant mobility at the start of their careers in order to foster mutual understanding between the two countries.
