The Hilton Madison hotel is connected via a climate controlled skywalk to the Frank Lloyd Wright inspired Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center. The hotel is conveniently located in downtown Madison just blocks from the WI State Capitol Building and the University of Wisconsin Madison campus.

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 Hilton Hotels & Resorts. 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:
Despite being the home of the Wisconsin state Capitol and the flagship campus of the University of Wisconsin System, Madison maintains a small-town atmosphere. Though it's perhaps best known as the setting for the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, the city is so much more than a hub of higher learning. Consistently ranked as one of the country's best places to live, Madison appeals to visitors and longtime residents alike with its five lakes, 200 miles of biking and hiking trails, and hip food scene.
