Work and Travel USA: a summer in America with IEC 🇺🇸

Which students have considered Work and Travel USA as a way to spend the summer abroad, gain work experience, and practice English in a real-world environment?

The IEC program is suitable for undergraduate, master's, and PhD students under 28. Participants spend 3–5 months in the USA during their summer break: they work officially on a J-1 Visa, and can then travel around the country.

What you need to know:

• basic conversational English is enough to get started
• jobs usually do not require special training: shops, restaurants, hotels, amusement parks
• you can look for a job on your own or choose a placement option
• IEC helps with visa documents
• medical insurance and a hotline in the USA are provided
• participants have access to free online English and Applied AI courses
