What is your role in the USA Work & Travel Program?
 

Our Partner Agents are actively involved in every step of the USA Work & Travel program. From recruitment to the visa application, from the orientation and the support during the period of the program to the return of the students, as a CHI partner you will be managing the USA Work & Travel Program. Together we will make a difference, not only for a summer, but for a lifetime, for many university students from your country.

As a USA Work & Travel Program partner
you will be responsible for:

Step 1: Promoting the USA Work & Travel Program among university students.

Step 2: Recruiting potential participants, including:
- collecting application documents
- verifying student status
- testing English language ability
- verifying proof of financial responsibility
- reviewing the job confirmation for the self-placed participants.

Step 3: Organizing a home country orientation for all USA Work & Travel applicants. CHI representatives will attend this orientation meeting. Required topics include:
- Program Rules
- DS-2019 and J-1 visa regulations
- Arrival procedures
- Work expectations, employee responsibilities
- Housing options, rules and guidelines
- Financial responsibilities, taxation and documentation
- US Laws

Step 4: Providing assistance with the visa application process, traveling arrangements and pre-departure orientation for the USA Work & Travel participants.

Step 5: Staying in constant communication with CHI and provide support for the participants while they are in the USA.

Step 6: Welcoming the students at the end of the USA Work & Travel Program; assist with collecting feedback and evaluation of their experience! In this way CHI and our partners help each other in improving the program every year!
