Ontdek het werkende leven in Amerika. Ga werken of stagelopen in de Verenigde Staten van Amerika!
Ook jij kunt aan de slag in de VS. Wij regelen samen met onze partners in de VS (zo nodig) een plek, contract zodat je weet waar je aan toe bent qua werktijden, beloning, verzekering e.d en je werkvergunning. We begeleiden je intensief voordat je vertrekt (je volgt bij ons een bijeenkomst en we bereiden je voor op je visum interview), in Amerika neemt onze partner begeleiding over. Altijd handig als je vragen of problemen hebt! Zij zijn op de hoogte van de wet en regelgeving in de VS.
Stage is in de zin van de wet gelijk aan werk. Je hebt dus altijd een geldige werkvergunning nodig. Zelfs al krijg je geen vergoeding.
De werkzaamheden die nodig zijn voor het verkrijgen van een
werkvergunning vragen specifieke kennis en expertise. Gelukkig
heeft Stichting Uitwisseling (SUSP) die kennis in huis. Zo kunnen wij jou
helpen bij het op de juiste wijze regelen van de benodigde papieren én zorgen
we ervoor dat jij en alle andere deelnemers in de USA worden begeleid,
zodat iedereen goed voorbereid op reis kan.
In de VS werken wij met diverse partners. Als je zelf een adres hebt gevonden, bijvoorbeeld via via, is het handig om te vragen of zij al met een bepaalde partner werken. Als je dat aan ons laat weten, kunnen wij je meteen aanmelden bij die partner.
Alle stages in de VS zijn betaalde stages behalve die bij vrijwilligersplekken. Ook kost en inwoning wordt voor je georganiseerd / word je bij geholpen door de partner in de USA. Je moet na afloop van het belastingjaar (in april volgend op het jaar na je stage) aangifte doen bij de belastingdienst van de VS. De meeste deelnemers hebben recht op teruggave van betaalde loonbelasting. Hierbij wordt je op weg geholpen, maar je moet de aangifte zelf doen.
Check ook eens onze Facebook pagina ‘Stichting Uitwisseling’ voor het aanbod! Als een van onze buitenlandse partners een specifieke stageplaats / werkplek wil promoten zetten wij deze op Facebook.
Enkele voorbeelden van mogelijkheden hebben we hieronder opgenomen. Bel 072 5896144 van maandag t/m donderdag tussen 9:00 en 16:30 uur of email naar outbound@susp.nl voor meer aanbod en informatie!
