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.

Hello summer
J1 USA '25 is open!
Need 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. Warning: this video may cause serious travel envy. Plus, video interviews for J1 jobs in San Diego are happening on 12 Dec - with more J1 hotspots hiring throughout Dec! Book J1 now to get ready.
Oh, Canada!
Summer hiring starting soon
Early summer hiring for jobs in Banff, Jasper and Waterton with Apr start dates is happening in Dec, so if you already have your Canada visa - book now to apply. Don't have your visa? The IEC visa pools are now closed, but you can still book Work Canada to get ready for when they re-open. Confused by the whole 'pool-without-pina-coladas' thing? Call us.

To register your interest, apply for Summer Camp USA and let us know which city you'd like to attend. We can't wait to see your face, but don't worry if you can't make an in-person event - the quickest way to get hired is in our hiring pool.
Final year student or recent grad? Put your academic skill to work, learn from leaders in your field, and get a CV that stands out from the crowd with USIT's 1-year Grad USA program. Get all the intel from our team on what visa you need, what cities you can work in, and what roles you can do. But sign up soon - you only have 12 months from your grad cert date to enter the USA!
