Hospitality USA
Build Your Career. Discover Your Confidence.
Experience the USA
Imagine spending up to 12 months gaining valuable international experience with respected hospitality employers while living and working in the U.S.
Hospitality USA is an opportunity to develop your practical skills, experience American hospitality and workplace culture, and learn from professionals in a different part of the world.
You will gain insight into new ways of working, different service standards and American business practices, while developing the confidence, adaptability and professional skills that can help you stand out in an increasingly competitive hospitality industry.
The experience also goes far beyond the workplace.
Living in the U.S. gives you the opportunity to experience American culture, meet people from around the world, explore new places and discover what life is like beyond everything that is familiar to you.
Whether your future takes you home, somewhere else in the world or into the next stage of your hospitality career, you will return with more than international experience. You will return with a broader understanding of the industry, of the world and of yourself
More Than a Job
Moving across the world and building a life somewhere new will challenge you in ways you may not expect.
You will learn to navigate unfamiliar situations, make decisions for yourself and find your feet in a new environment. There will be exciting moments, challenging moments and plenty of firsts along the way.
Little by little, you may begin to notice something changing.
You become more independent.
More adaptable.
More confident in your own abilities.
And somewhere along the way, a place that once felt completely unfamiliar can begin to feel like home.
Many participants return with a different sense of what they are capable of and a greater confidence in taking on whatever comes next.
Sometimes the biggest thing you bring home is not something in your suitcase. It is a new belief in yourself.
Is Hospitality USA Right for You?
Hospitality USA is designed for hospitality students, recent graduates and young professionals who are ready to build on their experience and take the next step in their careers.
You do not need to know everything or have years of experience behind you. What matters is that you have a foundation in hospitality, a genuine interest in the industry and a willingness to learn, adapt and make the most of the opportunity.
If you are motivated, open to new experiences and excited about developing both professionally and personally, this could be the right next step for you.
Not Sure Whether You Qualify?
That is exactly what we are here to help you understand.
We will take the time to look at your studies, your work experience and your caree goals before explaining the programme requirements and whether Hospitality USA is the right fit for you.
We Will Help You Feel Ready
Feeling nervous about taking such a big step is completely normal.
For many of our participants, this is their first international interview, their first long-haul flight or their first time living away from home.
There can be a lot to think about, but you will not be expected to work it all out on your own.
We will prepare you every step of the way, from your employer interview and visa guidance to pre-departure orientation, travel preparation and your arrival in the U.S. You will also continue to have support while you are overseas.
Our job is to help you feel prepared and confident so that you can focus on making the most of every opportunity this experience has to offer.
What We Hope You Will Take Home
You will return home with valuable international hospitality experience, but we hope you bring home much more than that.
Greater confidence in yourself
A broader understanding of hospitality and the way the industry works in another part of the world.
New perspectives shaped by the people, cultures and experiences you encountered along the way.
Professional skills and international experience that can help open doors in your future career.
Friendships and memories that may stay with you long after the programme ends.
Greater independence and confidence in your ability to adapt to whatever comes next.
And perhaps most importantly: A belief in what you are capable of.
