Providing quality and up-to-date visa information for students

Finding digestible, accessible, and current information on confusing visa processes is difficult for students living outside of the US. To remedy this, we produced dozens of research-backed, to-the-minute articles about the J-1 process. The best part is that these articles directly routed students to benefit from Global Internships’ services, benefiting both parties.

“There was a huge opportunity to create high-quality content and a hub for international students around the process of getting a visa. As someone who has gone through it, we knew that this was a unique approach to competitors.”

Creating a comprehensive guide for students by their country

Canada is a top sending country for J-1 internships. In an average year, upwards of 2,500 individuals travel from Canada to the US for an internship program.

We quickly identified Canadian students as a large market for Global Internships to engage with. To generate a connection, we wrote a search optimized, comprehensive guide to the ins and outs of a J-1 program. In less than a year,  93K individuals saw the piece in search results and over 2K clicked the link, and these numbers continue to trend upward.

Engaging thought leaders in US business

A top priority for Intrax Global Internships is connecting with companies that can provide quality programs for international students.

To support the Global Internships team here, we researched keywords that target business leaders interested in starting international internship programs. We then began to push out content optimized with these keywords. These pieces receive thousands of clicks and continue driving companies to work with the Global Internships team.
