Emplora Group bridges seasonal businesses across the U.S. with motivated international students — managing the connection from first introduction to arrival, so you can focus on your season.
Every year, seasonal businesses across the U.S. struggle to fill short-term roles. The J-1 Work & Travel program brings motivated international university students to fill that gap — but navigating it for the first time can feel complicated.
That's where Emplora Group comes in. We connect you directly with established Work & Travel agencies abroad, who handle student recruitment and visa documentation through their official sponsors. You get reliable seasonal staff; we handle the introductions and guide you through the process.
Share your seasonal roles, timing, and how many students you're looking for. We'll confirm whether your business is a good fit for the program.
We match you with one of our trusted Work & Travel partners. They recruit and prepare students, and their official sponsor handles all visa documentation, including the DS-2019.
Selected students arrive in time for your season, ready to work — and you stay supported throughout.
Emplora Group is built by people with years of experience in the Work & Travel sector. We understand how the program operates, what employers worry about, and what makes a placement succeed — because we've seen it firsthand. The J-1 Summer Work Travel program is administered by the U.S. Department of State and used by thousands of American businesses each year.
Let's talk about how Emplora Group can help you staff your next season — with no obligation.
