What is Work America?
The original Work America programme is ideal for university students who want to spend a fun and skill-enhancing summer in the USA. Spend up to four months living in America with the flexibility to choose where you go and what you do! Visiting places like New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Las Vegas are all part of this exciting experience.
With BUNAC’s help, you have total freedom to do any sort of work. You could spend your summer wrangling on a Colorado ranch, lifeguarding on a South Carolina beach or waitressing in a stateside cafe. Alternatively, you can find work related to your studies or future career track or be employed as a summer intern at a top blue chip company. BUNAC’s exclusive Job Directory offers hundreds of potential job leads all over America.
BUNAC administers Work America in conjunction with the programme's US sponsor, IENA, International Exchange of North America.
