The general purpose of this program is designed to expand the educational
horizons of International Students. We assist students by offering them the opportunity to work abroad during their summer holidays in the USA, through temporary employment opportunities. All or our candidates are bona fide university students who are screened for maturity, language skills, the ability to receive the maximum benefit from these exchange programs.
Participants enter the US on a J-1 Cultural Exchange Visa. The category of J-1 visa is "work & travel." The J-1 visa is for a maximum of 4 months working and an additional 30 days at the end for the participants to travel before returning to their home country.

A requirement of your visa category is to ensure you maintain appropriate medical insurance at all times. The US government regulations set various minimum coverage and we have selected a policy which exceeds all requirements. The coverage includes a travel policy from the time you depart to the United States. Participants with pre-existing conditions should make arrangements to purchase a supplemental policy prior to departure, as this policy does not cover pre-diagnosed or treated conditions.
