Purpose: the main purpose of the ICEO USA Summer Work/Travel Program is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of foreign countries by means of educational and cultural exchanges. In particular, the purpose of this program is to provide foreign college and university students with opportunities to interact with U.S. citizens, experience U.S. culture while sharing their own cultures with Americans they meet, travel in the United States, and work in jobs that require minimal training and are seasonal or temporary in order to earn funds to help defray a portion of their expenses.
Program duration: ICEO USA Summer Work / Travel Program participants are authorized to participate in the Program for up to four months during the long break between academic years. For example, participants from the northern hemisphere usually take part in the Program during the US Summer season and participants from the southern hemisphere usually take part in the Program during the US Winter season.
