ASPIRE gives you the opportunity to live the best experience of your life. Our network of reliable companies and partners allows the students of the world to work or train in the USA and discover the country with all of our programs.

Work & Travel program
If you are a current university student interested in working in the USA for 3 to 4 months and travel for up to 1 month within the USA during your summer vacation, we can help you.

The purpose of the Work Travel Program is to offer international students like you the opportunity to immerse themselves in U.S.A. daily life through temporary employment opportunities during their summer holidays. This is accomplished by your ongoing interaction with Americans at the host company, as well as other cross-cultural and social activities organized by your Aspire Area Representative.

You will also learn about U.S.A. culture and specifically the values in American business practices. On the other hand, the Americans will increase their cross-cultural knowledge of another part of the world. The friendships formed will not only last a lifetime but also assist you in your career development upon returning home.
