Work and Travel

Program Description: Through a special pilot program, students from Australia and New Zealand are eligible to live and work in the USA for up to 12 months! This is a fantastic opportunity for current college student or recent graduate to explore the beautiful coasts, cities and mountains of America while earning money to cover living and travel expenses. The program offers two ways to participate in the Work Travel program; candidates can choose a summer job from our current internship list (Premium Program), or find their own job, and have it confirmed for them (Independent Program).

Premium Work Travel Program

The Premium Work Travel Program is designed to make it easier for candidates to connect with host companies who are seeking International staff.
