WORK AND TRAVEL IN THE USA

An adventure you will cherish while working and exploring American culture

Instead of just visiting the U.S. as a tourist, why not fully immerse yourself in American life through a paid work experience? The Work Travel program gives you the opportunity to spend up to 4 months working and traveling in the U.S. during your summer vacation.

While working at a great American company, you'll earn money to cover your expenses, meet new friends, and improve your English skills. After your job is complete, you can spend the last month of the program traveling throughout the U.S.

The Intrax Work Travel Program makes it easier for you to find a job with companies who hire J-1 international staff.
