It is well known that in the next few years many people around the world will be laid off because of widespread robotization and the use of artificial intelligence.

Of course, these innovations will not bypass our beloved IEC and the

Work&Travel USA exchange program.

So, friends, it's 2039 outside the window. The office of the Center of International Exchange has moved into virtual space, like most large companies. Now there is no need to look for that coveted door near the US embassy that could send you to the great and boundless USA, now everything can be done remotely and not leaving the range of your home Wi-Fi.

And now it's time to talk about the Work&Travel USA program — what changes have affected it? Of course, technology has expanded the virtual world and its possibilities to unimaginable scales, but you can't just visit another country while sitting in your armchair and sipping soda? Or can you? Let's figure it out. In 2039 the Center for International Exchange performed the impossible and changed beyond recognition, but still some things remained from the good old IEC of 2k19... I see, I see your questioning look. As it always was, there are still several participation options.

If before there was the budget Self Arranged or the full-fledged Full Service, what can we choose now? Now two options are also available for selection:

Old School and Lazy

USA. Let's stop, perhaps, to start with the second.

By purchasing this package, you receive viva USA virtual reality goggles, in which you can remotely work, for example, control the same robots located in the States somewhere at a factory (who knows, such a service might be needed in 30 years), and in your free time take virtual trips and spend the money you earned, or transfer it to your personal account and buy something in your home country.

As for Old School, it's all classic here – manual work, travel, new friends and an unforgettable experience.
