Work and Travel in Southeast Asia: Work and explore the countries of Southeast Asia!

The Work and Travel South-East Asia program is a unique opportunity for young professionals to gain international work experience in the hospitality industry. Participants typically work in luxury 4–5-star hotels, restaurants, or other hospitality venues. Work and Travel in South-East Asia is your chance to spend your summer or winter break productively. You can work in countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, the Maldives, and Indonesia, and you have the option to choose multiple countries. The program sponsor guarantees placement before the program starts. After successfully completing the program, your employer will provide a reference. When applying, previous work experience matters less than your enthusiasm and passion for hospitality, but your English should be at least at an intermediate level.
