Welcome to the work and study abroad pages, here we have information on how you can work and study abroad. Working and studying overseas can allow you to have new and exciting experiences that can introduce you to different cultures and languages, food and drink, allow you to meet new people and network. These experiences can allow you to internationalise your C.V, help you stand out from others and increase your skill set.
Some people may want seasonal work and others may want long term possibilities. Seasonal work could offer a defined period of time working abroad e.g. during a ski or summer holiday season. Companies like Camp America hire staff for the summer season.
For longer term possibilities, you may want to look for UK companies with offices or workplaces overseas, for example, cruise companies who may be looking for staff in the entertainment, beauty, retail or childcare sectors. For those with the right skills, you may be able to identify companies who are looking for UK workers to be based in other countries.
