Opening your home to international students is a wonderful way to experience the richness of cultural exchange and make a difference in student's life. By becoming a homestay host, you can provide a safe and welcoming home away from home for students who are studying at JPC. You'll have the opportunity to share your culture and learn about theirs, and to create lifelong memories that you'll treasure for years to come. Hosting our international students can also be a great way to earn extra income while enjoying the rewards of being a mentor, friend, and guide to someone who is far from home. So why not join our community of homestay hosts today and start making a difference in the lives of international students?

Homestay Training Course

Our training is tailored to help you succeed as a homestay host for international students under 18. We cover cultural differences, communication strategies, safety guidelines, and legal requirements for hosting minors. With our training, you'll feel confident and prepared to create a safe and welcoming environment for your young guests, ensuring they have a positive and fulfilling experience while staying in your home.

Student Training Course

Our program not only offers comprehensive training and support for homestay hosts, but also includes homestay guidelines for students. These guidelines are designed to help international students adjust to their new life in a homestay environment and foster positive relationships with their hosts. By following these guidelines, students can feel more comfortable and make the most out of their homestay experience. With our program, you can feel confident and prepared to provide a safe, welcoming, and enriching experience for your international student guests.
