Many of the international workers who work temporarily in the U.S. are international students with a Designated Sponsoring Agency and are participating in the Work and Travel Program with a J-1 Visa. The three most common J-1 Visa program categories for international workers who qualify for the Work and Travel Program with Employers listed on CoolWorks are:
- Summer Work & Travel Program – allows students to work in the U.S. for four months in guest service positions
