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.
No running!
2025 Canada visa pools are open
Well, maybe a fast walk... because the IEC visa pools for Canada working holiday visas opened on the 16 Dec '24. By entering the pools as soon as they open, your name will be exposed to the maximum number of draws – increasing your chances of getting an 'Invitation to apply' (ITA) for your visa. Plus, we're already hiring for summer '25 resort jobs - with more jobs dropping in the New Year!
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.
