J1 SUMMER WORK TRAVEL VISA

Work Experience USA is a program of CCUSA that provides employers with qualified J-1 Summer Work Travel participants for temporary and/or seasonal positions during the spring, summer, and winter seasons.

The J-1 Summer Work Travel Visa is available to current University participants who are actively studying in school and who wish to travel to the USA on their school summer break to learn about American culture firsthand.

The J-1 Summer Work Travel Program is part of the Fulbright-Hays Act of 1961. This act enables the United States government to increase mutual understanding between the people of the U.S. and other countries around the world by means of educational and cultural exchange. To help facilitate public diplomacy abroad, the program strengthens the ties which unite us with other nations by demonstrating educational and cultural interests, developments, and achievements of the people of the United States and other nations.

The J-1 Summer Work Travel program is primarily available to participants who are 18-29 years of age. The program is under the U.S. Department of State and is primarily a cultural exchange program with a work component. Work Experience USA depends on their employers to help provide J-1 participants a positive cultural experience in the USA by helping facilitate cultural activity trips, allowing for time off to attend sponsor arranged activities, and/or by providing Summer Work Travel participants local information on events/activities in the area. 1 Summer Work Travel program is primarily available to students who are 18-29 years of age.
