Catapult your hospitality career by gaining international work experince in 5 star hotels, luxury resorts and top restaurants in America. We currently have placement opportunites in Florida, Texas, California and Arizona.

Please note that due to American J1 visa restrictions, we are only able to assist South African passport holders.

YDP, together with our longstanding American partners provide young and aspiring South African hospitality, culinary and tourism professionals the unique opportunity to participate in a hospitality work experience and cultural exchange programme in the USA.

The Internship and Professional Career Training USA programme is an excellent opportunity for students, recent graduates and those with five years work experience in the hospitality, culinary and tourism industries to spend up to 12 months working in the USA, gaining practical work experience in their field of study. You will further your career by breaking that logjam of having insufficient experience, earn US Dollars, learn a new culture and travel.

We are now recruiting for departures in the months of September and October 2010, and due to the application process, you are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. Limited positions available. 

Only short listed candidates will be contacted.  Please note that you will be responsible for your flight costs to the USA as well as programme fees. Terms and conditions apply.
