Visa for Year Placement from University

[Shuheb]

I want to know what sort of visa if needed would i require to have to travel to the USA for a year for work placement.

My uni course is a 4 year course 3 which is based at the university it self and one year which is out in the field so basically either a company or a organization where i can put my skills to use.

I am going into my second year at university but during this period I will be applying for jobs in the States and other places.

Please can someone explain the exact procedure I need to take and if anyone has any past experiences I would love to know.

Thanks in advance!
