Throughout this journey, I gained much more than just work experience. I developed important life and professional skills such as communication, independence, problem-solving, adaptability, and customer service. Living and working in the USA taught me how to step out of my comfort zone, connect with people from different cultures, and trust myself more.
So many challenges, unforgettable memories, friends from all around the world, and countless opportunities for personal and professional growth. This experience also helped me improve my English skills and taught me how to adapt to a completely new environment.
I am especially grateful to InterExchange, IEC and the official program representative in Armenia, who supported me throughout this entire journey. Their continuous guidance made the whole process much easier and far less stressful – from preparing documents and visa applications to choosing the right job and providing support during the program itself. Having a reliable team by my side throughout all three years truly meant a lot to me.
I can confidently say that the Summer Work and Travel USA program is an incredible opportunity for students who want to grow, travel, work, and experience a new culture while gaining valuable skills for the future
