Join the hundreds of American college and university students who travel to
Europe, Australia, Asia, and South America each summer to live and work in
paid positions. As an ICE Program Participant, you'll gain invaluable
international work, culture, and language experience which you'll carry
with you the rest of your life.
Since 1971, ICE has placed more than 15,000 students in work/internship
positions throughout Europe, Asia, and South America. ICE students have
worked at automotive plants in Germany, schools in China, supermarkets in
Japan, and in Aboriginal Communities in Australia.
Each working experience is unique and tailored to the student's interests,
language ability and goals. ICE internships run between 8 to 12 weeks.
Students usually work 30-40 hours per week, and either live with a homestay
or with an employer sponsored housing program. Compensation varies by
program. Depending on the particular employment situation, students earn a
modest salary or stipend.
Internship Placement And Timing
Once a student is awarded a position in the ICE Program, ICE sets up an
internship with a prospective employer, arranges for the necessary work
permits, and coordinates housing with local host families, or with employer
sponsored housing programs. ICE assists the student with other items as
well; such as, providing helpful tips in preparing for the trip, preparing
for the language requirements, or obtaining a work visa, which is required
by some countries including England, Switzerland, Japan, China, and Australia.
Internship placements are made between February and May, prior to the
Student's departure in June. Students with work placements in Switzerland,
England, Australia, China, and Japan are not permitted to enter these
countries unless a work visa has been issued and stamped into the passport
by the corresponding Consulate in America. The visa is usually not issued
before the end of May. No student may depart for work in these countries
before May 31st
