Introduction
If you are looking for a summer job or an internship in the United States, there are many organizations in Ireland which can assist you.
One of the most important tasks is helping you get the correct and necessary visa for your time in the US.

Young people wishing to work for a while in the United States can find help and support from a number of other organizations offering various programs, for example: Au pair programs in child care, jobs as counselors at American summer camps, or internships
