     美国国务院教育和文化交流司指定的官方文化交流项目——大学生赴美带薪实习项目（Work & Travel）已经在欧洲、韩国、日本、新加坡等全球数百个国家和地区成功运作了30余年，每年都有数万名大学生利用寒暑假持J-1签证赴美进行为期8-16周的短期实习，并在实习之余在美国境内旅游或实地体验美国生活，了解美国风土人情。
    作为由美国国会立法、由美国国务院授权机构操作的官方项目，大学生赴美带薪实习项目专为在读大学本科生设计，并在让学生体验美国多元文化的同时为其提供在美带薪实习的机会,以减轻赴美实习生的经济压力。其间, 每个实习生均享有与美国同事同工同酬的待遇，及享有其他福利（含事故及健康保险）。此外，每个实习生还可以在美期间申请社会安全卡。

Sponsors and exchange visitors are required to comply with the Exchange Visitor Program regulations. For a successful Program, it is essential to become familiar with the governing regulations. This home page and the pages it links should be viewed as a resource; they are not intended as a replacement or substitution for the Exchange Visitor Program regulations, 22 CFR Part 62.

Summer Work/Travel
Regulations pertaining specifically to the Summer Work/Travel category are found at [22 CF2 62.32]
Through this category foreign post-secondary students may enter the United States to work and travel for a maximum of four months during their summer vacations. While most participants enter the United States without prearranged employment have sufficient financial resources to support themselves during their search for employment. In addition, sponsors must provide such participants with information on how to seek employment and secure lodging in the United States before they depart their home countries, and with a job directory that includes at least as many job listings as the number of participants in their program who are entering the United States without prearranged employment. Finally, sponsors must undertake reasonable efforts to secure suitable employment for participants unable to find jobs on their own after one week.
Sponsors are to advise program participants about Federal Minimum Wage requirements, and are to ensure that participants receive the same pay and benefits as received by their American counterparts in the same or similar positions.
Program regulations permit participants to repeat the program more than once. However, sponsors are required to limit the number of repeating participants to no more than 10 percent of the number of their previous year’s participants.
Department regulations prohibit the placement of program participants as domestic help in U.S. households or in positions requiring them to invest their own money for inventory, such as door-to-door sales, most participants typically work in non-skills service positions at resorts, hotels, restaurants, and amusement parks. Summer internships in US businesses and other organizations (I.e., architecture, science research, graphic art/publishing and other media communication, advertising, computer software and electronics, and legal offices, etc. ) are allows. However, the term of the internship may not exceed the four-month program duration, and must bi completed during the student’s summer vacation. Please refer to the regulations for details.
