Work & Travel Program

The Work & Travel Program is the optimal choice for college students who would like to learn English while earning money.  For an entire summer, participants work in an American restaurant, amusement park or company in the United States.  In order to improve students’ English-speaking abilities, students will be placed in jobs that give them maximum exposure to an English-speaking environment.  For students who are on a budget but are serious about traveling and abroad and learning English, the Work & Travel Program is the choice for them.
