General Information

Description of the Host Property:
Everything under one roof at the authentically African-themed Kalahari Resort and Conventions! Home to the East Coasts largest indoor waterpark at 200,000 sq. ft. and massive family entertainment center, Kalahari offers an unprecedented array of fun! Kalahari also features nearly 1000 guestrooms and suites, the full-service Spa Kalahari and Salon, a fully-equipped fitness center, on-site restaurants and sweet treats, unique retail shops, and a 215,000 square feet of flexible meeting space.


Description of the Training:

Step into the kitchen of a world-leading luxury hotel/resort and learn from the best chefs in the American hospitality industry at Kalahari Resorts & Conventions. Through this J-1 Hospitality internship or traineeship program, you will rotate to different stations, acquiring the skills and techniques necessary to take the culinary world by storm. This rotational program is designed to give you exposure to the international hospitality industry and give you the experience needed to excel in your career when you return to your home country.

ITN & ODYSSEY All-Inclusive Program:
Unlike most J-1 Program providers, a regional ITN representative will guide you through a streamlined registration process, thanks to ITN and ODYSSEY’s all-inclusive approach. ITN and ODYSSEY will be on hand to provide you with the very best personalized service from the time that you arrive in the United States until your departure from the United States upon completion of your program.

Description of the Location:
Pennsylvania has all the ingredients for a great vacation, starting with a town built on chocolate (who wouldn’t love that?), the World of Little League Museum and more than a dozen amusement parks and water parks. It also offers big-city culture – think first-rate museums, science centers, performing arts venues and gardens in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and other lively urban centers. Venture outside the cities to go hiking, biking and boating in 121 state parks, and learn about the Amish in farms and villages. Don’t forget to explore the state’s pivotal role in U.S. history at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall and on Gettysburg’s battlefields.
