Description: Work & Travel USA programme is an exchange visitor programme that enables foreign university students to gain a greater understanding of the United States by providing them an opportunity to work and travel in the United States. Participants have a unique chance to experience life and culture in the U.S. as more than just tourists and to share their own traditions and culture with people from the U.S., as well as other international students. During summer holiday periods, overseas participants are able to work side by side with their U.S. counterparts at temporary entry - level jobs. This programme is designed to achieve the educational objectives of international exchange by directly involving students in the daily life of the country during their summer holiday. It allows the participant to earn modest spending money and, at the same time, offset some living and travel expenses during their stay in the U.S. After finishing their work commitment, students have an optional travel period to sightsee and further explore the American landscape. An unforgettable summer awaits you: you will be able to use both your work time and free time to enjoy yourself and increase your knowledge of U.S. culture.

Highlights: With Work & Travel USA, you will be able to work in a fantastic resort, hotel or amusement/National park at the time you are living a wonderful experience abroad. You will also improve your level of English and what's more important, you will achieve work experience that will be an essential requirement in your future jobs.

Furthermore, you are not just working but you are also going to have the opportunity to enjoy the country and the place where you are.
