What we do

The simple answer to travelling more? Earning while you do it. Whether you need to bankroll your gap year with a working holiday, fund your summer at camp or winter on the slopes, or get ahead with a professional internship - JENZA does the works. Setting you up with the visa assistance, pre-arranged job and arrival support you need to work the world.

Roll out the carpet

Introducing 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 your studies, or your career, 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.
