Who the heck is Jenza, anyway?

What we do

JENZA is the travel love child of BUNAC and USIT – two originals of the work abroad and camp world. And our mission is to make travel more accessible. The simple answer to travelling more? Earning while you do it. Whether you need to bankroll your gap year with a working holiday visa, fund your winter with a ski season, or get ahead with an international internship – JENZA does the works. Setting you up with the visa help, job assistance and arrival support you need to work the world.

Hello sunshine

Get ready for Canada hiring

Canada hiring is hotting up! Early summer hiring for jobs in Banff, Jasper and Waterton with Apr start dates is happening in Dec. If you already have your Canada visa, book now to apply. Don't have your visa? The IEC visa pools are now closed, but you can still book Work Canada to get ready for when they re-open. Confused by the whole 'pool-without-pina-coladas' thing? Call us.

Roll out the carpet

Meet JENZA Intern UK

We get royally excited about internships. As a team, we're constantly trying to find excuses to travel (while also battling THIS inner voice: but what about our studies, or our careers, or literally insert-any-other-adult-goal here). Open to students and grads of all nationalities, grow your network and get professional work experience in your field – all while spending the summer, semester or up to a year living in the UK.

Jenza Camp has a new name!

Intro-ing BUNAC Camp

Why the name change, JENZA? Well, JENZA and BUNAC have always been the same team with the same camp program – just with different brand names in different countries. Confusing, right? Like meeting your identical twin at camp and realising that you're basically the same – only with different names? Not sure where we stole that one from...

Anyway, we've had a do-over! BUNAC has gone back to our 1972 camp roots to become our dedicated Summer Camp USA brand, and JENZA is now all things working holidays and international internships. Same team, same experiences – one happy family of work, intern and camp brands.
