A once-in-a-lifetime overseas opportunity
Posted: February 21, 2022
Leeds City College students are being offered the chance to experience a once-in-a-lifetime, fully funded work experience adventure in the United States.
We have teamed up with Camp America to secure the opportunity for up to 90 adult students.
All travel, accommodation and living costs will be covered on the trip, which is designed to hone students’ employability skills while giving them a taste of a different culture and the chance to make new friends.
While working for Camp America – supported, whenever needed, by guidance from a mentor – students will have the chance to become a role model for the children they are looking after.
Participants need to be 18 years old or over and will have the option of extending their stay, by up to 30 days, to further explore the US after they have completed their nine week placement.
