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
- Camp Counselor Program – allows students to work at a summer camp as a camp counselor
- J-1 Trainee Program – allows students and professionals to train with a U.S.-based host organization for up to 18 months.The qualifications for these visas vary depending on your country of residence
If you are a university student, we suggest researching and reaching out to one of the following US based Work and Travel Visa sponsorship agencies to assist you.
If you are not a student, you will most likely need an H2B visa. Working in the U.S. on an H2B visa will require you to find an employer who takes part in the H2B program and then apply directly to them. This info may be helpful in learning more about the H2B visa and the process U.S. employers need to take to obtain them.
