Work and travel experts

Over 1 million happy travellers

Founded in 1950-something in the halls of Trinity College and UCD, our student forefathers knew one thing. That the way to explore and experience more – was to earn while you did it. We’ve been creating life-shaping work and travel experiences ever since. Whether you want to fund your summer in the US at camp or on a J1, bankroll your gap year with a working holiday, or use your degree to get ahead on a professional internship – USIT opens up a world of opportunities.

USA this way

All class of '23 grads

Graduated and wondering what's next? The bridge between college and your career - put your CV on the map with our 1-year Grad USA program. You must enter the USA within 12 months of your grad cert. So, if you have a Dec grad cert date, you must book by 3 Oct to give yourself enough time to get through the application process.

Hello summer

J1 USA '25 is open

Need some convincing that a USIT J1 will be the best thing you do next year? We hit the streets (and beaches) of Chicago and The Hamptons to talk to our class of '24 J1-ers on what they loved about their summer. Warning: this video may cause serious travel envy. Coming soon - hiring for J1 jobs will open in October! Book now to get ready.

Cool jobs

Canada winter hiring is open!

Parents, you may want to look away now... "Just quit your job and do it!" Meet Conor, fresh from the slopes working at Cypress Mountain. The good news is, we can help you find a new job in Canada! (Parents - back in the room). Video interviews for 4-6 month winter and ski jobs are taking place between now and August with positions going fast, so get your skates on.
