Job Opportunities in Alaska: WORK and TRAVEL program
If you are planning a move to Alaska be aware that it is quite difficult to find a job in Alaska on your own. Mostly everyone who wants to apply to specialized agencies that provide assistance in finding a vacancy and the employer itself.
You can also find a job through people who have already worked there. But it is worth considering the fact that not all companies-employers agree to pay for moving from their native country to Alaska. It is possible to find a job directly in Alaska, but it will require a lot of money. It is impossible to open a work visa without an invitation and in any case you will have to return home.
Working in the U.S. illegally is also not worth it. Not every employer will hire a person who may face deportation every day due to visa violations.
The most reliable way to find a job is through special programs. Today there are several of them, but the most popular of them is the WORK and TRAVEL program.
Advantages of the program
The advantage of the program is the fact that the direct employer bears all transportation costs. The conditions of return (at whose expense) are clearly stated in the employment contract.
The WORK and TRAVEL program was originally developed for students of foreign countries to earn money. But over time it has become incredibly popular among people of age. The program implies an opportunity to visit Alaska as a worker for three months (season). Basically, the company offers work in processing and packaging of marine products.
The main advantage of the program is the fact that even after the end of the period allocated for work, the person is given thirty more days, which he can devote to travel to all the states of the United States of America.
According to the program, the company cannot provide a fixed salary in the United States. The pay is based on the hours worked by the individual.
On average, one hour of work is roughly paid between $7.15 and $7.20.
All program participants have special privileges, one of which is a temporary work permit.
All salaried employees under the program begin their employment on the first of June. Travel to Alaska is at the employer’s expense.
The main duties of program participants are such as:
- Cutting fish carcasses
- Transporting fish
- Packing caviar
- Cleaning
- Packing
The program is designed for a period of three to four months, depending on the desire of the person. The biggest advantage of this program can be considered the fact that the employees directly in Alaska will be their compatriots, which will have a very good effect on the morale of working people.
