Work & Explore USA

We are proud to be able to offer the Work & Explore USA (formerly known as the J1W&T USA) programme to NZ tertiary students and graduates.

This visa is a great opportunity for current NZ tertiary students or graduates to go to the USA for a full year, travel, get to know another country and its people using a visa that is easy to apply for.

​

You do not need to have a job offer to apply for the visa. A job placement arranged either prior to travel or once in the USA cannot begin until CIEE has fully vetted and approved the job.

Eligibility

The applicant must be either

  • a NZ fulltime tertiary student with at least 1 year of study  completed or

  • a NZ tertiary graduate starting in the USA within 1 year of graduation date.
