U.S. employers for Work and Travel agencies.
We find prospective U.S. seasonal employers for international Work and Travel agencies. Our work starts with employer outreach and the job details an agency needs to evaluate an opportunity.
From employer outreach to a useful introduction.
Our focus is hospitality, resorts and tourism: U.S. businesses with seasonal staffing needs.
Find prospective employers
We contact U.S. businesses to understand their seasonal roles, locations, dates and staffing needs.
Organize the job details
We collect pay, expected hours, housing and transport information, separating employer-supplied details from questions that still need confirmation.
Introduce the opportunity
We present relevant employer information to Work and Travel agencies so they can decide what to take forward with their designated U.S. sponsor.
Two starting points.
For Work and Travel agencies
Tell us your student markets, priority job categories and season. We will discuss your employer sourcing needs and whether we can help.

Tell us about your business, roles and staffing dates. We will discuss an introduction to international Work and Travel agencies.
Share your staffing needsWhere the sponsor comes in.
Employer sourcing is the starting point. Program approval is a separate step.
Sumeria is an independent B2B sourcing initiative, not a designated J-1 sponsor. The responsible U.S. sponsor independently vets employers and jobs, approves placements and issues DS-2019 forms.
Commercial terms are discussed individually and must fit the responsible sponsor’s requirements. An inquiry does not guarantee a placement, hiring outcome or visa.
Sample briefs on this site illustrate the information we collect; they are not live vacancies. Read our program terms or Work and Travel guides for more detail.
