Australia Offers Work Visas to College Grads

Want to escape to Australia for a year? Australia has a special “Work and Holiday” visa program that allows American students and recent grads between the ages of 18 and 30 the opportunity to work and travel in the land down under for 12 months.

Australia is the first country the United States has come to this agreement with, in light of the dismal job opportunities on the home front. Travel agencies like STA Travel have taken note of this agreement and are offering special packages, including a ranch-hand training program and a two-day bartending boot camp. Visas can be hard to come by otherwise, so take advantage of this opportunity and apply at australia.com/workinoz.
