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. This session is designed to ensure you are prepared with the necessary documentation and timing for the 2026 season before the spring rush begins. \nFeatured Speaker\nOur guest speaker\, Hollie Souza of The Emerald Resort (and former General Manager of Red Jacket Beach Resort)\, will share her first-hand experience managing the J-1 process. 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.
