The leading Barcelona-based agency, which offers jobs, internships, volunteering, and language courses abroad, is opening a new office in the United States and is already offering 50 job positions for this summer.Twenty years ago, Eva Sabater, director and founder of Travel Work, travelled to the United States to establish agreements with companies interested in hosting Spanish participants. After visiting companies in San Francisco, Chicago, New Jersey, New York… she began sending participants, but the agreements were blocked after a few years because American companies demanded that the Spanish students start in early June, coinciding with classes and exams in Spanish educational centres.
After years of work, Travel Work has managed to re-establish agreements with US companies, allowing Spanish participants to join from the end of June and early July, a perfect time for students in Spain as their holiday period begins.
Eva Sabater says that ‘this new programme we are offering is a privilege for our young people because it gives them the opportunity to access the United States labour market’, a market that is difficult to access and highly valued in the curricular experiences of Spaniards.
The work programme What Travel Work offers in the United States is aimed at young students who want to work in the United States to improve their English level, have a unique experience, and cover their stay during the summer months (June to September). The agency currently has 50 places available for students with an intermediate level of English who meet the requirements. Specified requirements in the programme, the 50 places will be available until early March.
