SUMMARY:J-1 Workshop: Planning for Your Summer Workforce
DESCRIPTION:Hiring J-1 Employees: Navigating the Process with Expert Insight\nThis workshop is specifically designed for businesses that rely on a robust summer workforce. \nPresented by the Yarmouth Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with the Dennis and Greater Hyannis Chambers of Commerce\, we invite the Mid-Cape business community to join us on Tuesday\, January 20\, 2026\, from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM for a practical session on seasonal staffing. We’ll be meeting in the inviting atmosphere of Thirwood Place in Yarmouth to discuss how J-1 students—international college students who provide essential staffing during our prime season—can help solve your workforce needs.  \nThis workshop is specifically designed for businesses that rely on a robust summer workforce\, including hotels and resorts\, restaurants and seasonal eateries\, landscaping and property management firms\, cleaning services\, summer camps\, water parks and mini-golf courses\, retail boutiques\, grocery stores\, and marine or boat rental operations. \nAbout This Workshop\nBecause a successful J-1 season requires early planning\, we are using these quieter winter months to help you get ahead of the curve.

Hollie will provide a candid look at: \n   J-1 Best Practices: How to effectively integrate these valuable employees into your business. \n Essential Timing: Understanding the critical winter deadlines for paperwork and documentation to ensure your team is ready for your peak months. \n  Real-World Insights: Honest details on the challenges and benefits of the program from a veteran hospitality leader’s perspective. \nJoin us for a productive morning of learning and community as we prepare for a successful year ahead!\nWhile this event is free to attend and includes light refreshments\, we do ask that you please register in advance to RSVP.
