The Summer Work and Travel Program is a program operated by the US Department of State using designated sponsors and allows full time students to come to the United States during the summer vacation in their home country, to work and travel. ACAWE is a designated sponsor and we can offer you the opportunity to come to the United States to work, make some money and travel all over the USA.
ACAWE offers students several programs and options, depending upon your needs. With experienced staff, we will walk you through the process of completing the paperwork, getting a job, obtaining the visa and arriving to the United States.
Together with an ACAWE representative you will be able to determine which program will most suit your needs.
Here are the available programs:
Full SWT (Job and visa)
In this program ACAWE will provide you with all your needs. We will provide a job, visa documentation, insurance and full support throughout the program. We will walk you through the process and assist you when needed. This program suits those that are looking to make some money to cover expenses, maybe save some money, but they will need not to worry at any stage.
Independent (Visa Only)
Visa and Insurance Only – you find your own work place, we only provide you with documentation, DS-2019 and insurance. You will get ACAWE's support during the visa process. This program suits those that have the initiative to look for their own job and students returning to the USA who just need the paperwork done.
