Why do the USA Grad scheme?

Although it does take a degree to qualify for the Grad USA program, it doesn’t take a degree to know that working in America at any other time in your life can be extremely hard. This is a unique opportunity, don’t let it pass you by.

While our Work America summer program and Summer Camp USA program allow you to live and work in America for a season, there are few visa scenarios where you can move to America for such a long time – and with so few job restrictions. From working as a fashion designer or a finance broker, in any state from Alaska to Arizona, it’s genuinely a once-in-a-lifetime chance to globalise your CV, learn from the best in the business, and experience everything that the USA has to offer.
