GOOD JOBS. GREAT EXPERIENCES.

 

GEACE Work & Travel USA is so much more than a job. It’s a fun and exciting journey of cultural discovery.

​

If You're an International Student,

look forward to the experience of a lifetime!  Work & Travel USA gives you a chance to live in America, immerse yourself in its culture, venture out and explore, earn money, and add work experience to your resume. It is a journey you will never forget.

​

A Trip to Remember Forever

There’s no doubt: this is a terrific way to spend a university break. Students who come to the United States with GEACE Work & Travel USA learn a lot – about America, about working with others, and about themselves. It’s all thanks to GEACE’s focus on cultural exchange and support. Time after time, our students tell us how we’ve helped them gain independence, maturity, and life skills that prepare them for the future. And along the way, they’ve had a great time!

​

When embarking on a GEACE Work & Travel USA program, students take responsibility for themselves, work, and share experiences with people across America. The employers with whom CIEE works are proud to be part of that discovery, giving our participants a head start in life.

DISCOVER THE REAL AMERICA

 

 

It’s one thing to visit a place, see the sights, and go home. That’s what tourists do. Truly understanding a culture and its traditions takes more than a quick visit, however. It takes time to really get to know what a place and its people are all about.
That’s why international exchange is so powerful – and why GEACE Work & Travel USA students get so much out of their stay in this country. When you meet and get to know people, you can go beyond first impressions. You get an appreciation for the culture, become more comfortable, and start to see America in a whole new way. Confused about baseball? Don’t watch it on TV. Head to a game with a co-worker and find out for yourself why it’s America’s favorite sport!
A lot of what you learn comes from the little things you do every day and the human connections you make:
Make small talk at the cafe where you go for morning coffee
Have conversations with new American friends and fellow students
Tell a joke or a story to co-workers
Join friends after work for a movie
Share a meal
Along the way, every day, your English will improve. Stronger language skills also make it easier to discover American culture. After all, every friendship begins with “Hello!” And it is a great investment in your future.

 

GEACE: Your Source for Vital Information

We understand how difficult it can be to get comfortable in a new place. It’s hard to know where to begin. That’s why CIEE gives you a thorough online orientation before you leave, makes personal visits during your stay, and works with employers to make sure you have a positive job experience.
Members of the CIEE team will be in touch throughout the program to help you adjust, explore, and learn about American culture.

 

Hands-On Learning to Enrich Your American Experience

Living and working in America teaches you a lot. We want you to learn even more, to get the most out of your time in the United States. That is why GEACE Work & Travel USA offers unique opportunities to meet with other students and find out about the American way of life.
GEACE events are something you won’t want to miss. They’re informative, thought-provoking, and you will be surprised at how much fun learning about the United States can be.

We look for employers who appreciate the importance of cultural exchange, and who take an interest in giving you a rewarding job experience.
