Grad USA: Head stateside after college with the Grad USA program. This visa is exclusive to Irish graduates and allows you to live and work anywhere in the US within your field of study for up to one year. BUT you only have 12 months from the date of your grad cert to take advantage of this visa-  you’ve been warned!  (ps. ‘23 grads, use code GRAD200)

J1 USA:  A J-1 visa is the summer of a lifetime in sunny USA- live, work and explore with a summer job in the US city of your choosing. Once your summer work is over you then have 30 days to travel across the US and explore everything America has to offer 🤩

Camp USA: Spend two months working as a camp counsellor, plus a month of travel to explore wherever the wind takes you ✈️ Our expert team will match you with the perfect camp and participants will get $2,000 salary at the end of their placement. 

Basically, a summer in the States is not to be missed. If any of these programs tickle your fancy, hit the link in our bio and let’s get the ball rolling.
