Work and travel experts
Over 1 million happy travellers
Founded in 1959 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
Class of '24 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. But the window to apply is small - you must enter the USA within 12 months of your grad cert. So if the date on your grad cert is late Jan/Feb '24, or you want to travel in Feb '25, you must apply by 17 Nov.
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.
