Why Into?
Founded in 1989, IntoEdVentures is a non-profit, exchange organization and a designated United
States Department of State sponsor for both the High School Program and the Work and Travel
Program! Our mission is to encourage the development of mutual awareness, respect, concern
and trust among people from different nations. What a great goal to have as our standard of
operation in bringing people of the world closer together.
The Into Work and Travel Program includes:
| • Students having a guaranteed and secured work placement before arrival. |
| • Self-placement: Students have flexibility in finding
and locating a job independently. The only requirement
is that the students must provide Into EdVentures with a copy of their employment agreement (job offer). |
| • Into-placement: Into has made arrangements with
several companies throughout the United States to
allow us to fill their positions with Work and Travel students. We will arrange a basic, entry-level or seasonal-work job, much like one a student in the
United States would have during the school vacation. |
| • Students receiving the same compensation for their
work as their counterparts in the United States. Also, students will have assistance in finding housing, if the employer does not provide housing. |
| • Students being issued an DS-2019 form by IntoEdVentures which they will use to secure a J-1 visa. |
| • Students being enrolled in a comprehensive health
insurance plan for the duration of their stay in the United States. Students will be supplied with insurance identification cards, insurance brochures, and insurance claim forms prior to their departure. |
| • Students being given a pre-departure orientation where they will be given information on topics such as obtaining social security cards, obtaining housing and dealing with cultural issues in the United States. |
| • Students being supplied with program identification cards, a program handbook, access to tax refund service and an emergency phone number that is monitored 24 hours a day. |
