Pre-departure orientation

Pre-Departure Orientation, or online orientation, is an important part of the Work and Travel program. It is located in your personal account on the sponsor's website, and each participant should be sure to review it and confirm the review after signing the application form. It is also recommended that you refresh the information before flying to the United States. The orientation lasts about 50 minutes and is designed to introduce participants to key aspects of the program. Here are the main topics it covers: * Who is the sponsor of the program; * What is Work and Travel; * What to expect from the program; * How to prepare for a trip to the USA; * Procedure for entering the United States and traveling within the country; * SEVIS and Social Security Card information; * Reasons for being excluded from the program; * How to be a successful participant in the program; * Issues related to taxes, opening a bank account and other important aspects; * Safety rules; * First Aid; * Wrapping up the program and returning home. This video helps participants prepare for the trip in advance, learn their rights and responsibilities, and successfully complete the program.
