Experience living abroad and American daily life, make friends from around the world, perfect your English (if you are a non-native speaker) - all this, and for as little money as possible. Use your summer break and take a job as a resort worker in a U.S. National Park, as a waiter in a Hard Rock Café, on a hotel reception, in a shop, or in an amusement park ticket booth. We bring you job vacancies with information about duties, pay, accommodation, location, arrival details, etc. You decide on a location and a job in the Intrax Work & Travel USA programme.

An international work atmosphere with students from all over the world, magnificent landscapes and cities packed full of sports and leisure activities are just some of the things you can look forward to.
