Requirements for the work and travel program in the USA

To make sure you can successfully complete your summer work and travel program in the USA there are a few requirements you must adhere to.

1. First of all, candidates for the work and travel program must have a high understanding of the English language. They must be able to successfully interact in an English-speaking environment.
2. Secondly, as mandated by the US government, candidates must also be enrolled in a post-secondary school and be pursuing a degree in a serious manner. They must also have successfully completed at least 1 semester of post-secondary school.
3. The last requirement is that you must be pre-placed in a company prior to entering the USA (we will help you with that!)

Further information about the work and travel program in the USA

Internships USA matches employers from the U.S. who are in need of seasonal workers with international students from the work and travel program. These employers will host the students for up to a maximum of four months. You can thus spend your summer experiencing the diverse cultures of America while improving your English and gaining resume-enhancing work experience. You will also make enough money to spend the last month travelling the USA and creating memories and experiences that will last you a lifetime.

It is an ideal alternative for students who want to spend their summer on vacation whilst earning some money. This gives students the rare opportunity to immerse themselves into the rich culture of the USA, which will enhance both their perspective and life. And it’s a great option for employers to fill the short-term employment they need during the busiest season. Therefore, it is the perfect solution that meets the expectations of both parties!
