Discover Our Work & Travel Program!
The Work and Travel program offers an exceptional opportunity for individuals seeking to immerse themselves in a new culture, meet amazing people, and engage with a diverse community representing various races. This program provides university students with the chance to experience life in the United States, allowing them to live, work, and travel with great flexibility during their official summer break, all at an affordable cost for a maximum duration of 4 months.
During your participation in the Work and Travel USA Program, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in employment during your summer break. This program is your gateway to immersing yourself in American culture, earning income, enriching your resume or curriculum vitae (CV), forging lasting friendships, boosting your self-confidence and personal skills, exploring captivating destinations, and serving as a student ambassador from your home country.
Our program enables participants to earn modest spending money while engaging in temporary employment alongside U.S citizens and other International Students from around the globe. This opportunity not only helps offset some of the costs associated with living and traveling in the United States but also provides a chance to explore the American landscape during an optional travel period after fulfilling their work commitment.

Our Commitment to Your Experience
Crisis-Tested Support
Cosmopolitan World Wide Experience draws on 17 years of experience in administering cultural exchange programs, allowing us to respond responsibly and adapt to ever-changing circumstances while protecting the best interests of our participants. Since 2019, Cosmopolitan WWE has taken organized, transparent, and student-focused measures during challenging seasons, helping us lead the market in Jordan and Egypt in managing uncertainty and strengthening the trust of Jordanian and Egyptian students in our service and commitment.
In 2019, after changes in worldwide visa acceptance rates prevented a number of participants from taking part in the summer season, Cosmopolitan WWE responded by offering full refunds to affected participants. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the education and cultural exchange industries were heavily impacted, Cosmopolitan WWE took fair and responsible refund measures to support participants regardless of their application stage. In 2021, when the after-effects of COVID-19 created very limited visa appointment availability, we again supported participants who were unable to secure visa appointments before the summer season through full refund measures.
In 2025, changes in visa vetting and application procedures, along with the pause of new J-1 interview appointments during peak processing months, prevented many participants from securing visa appointments on time. Cosmopolitan WWE responded by refunding all fees paid by affected participants. In 2026, additional appointment limitations affected students due to increased visa processing pressure connected to World Cup 2026 travel demand, as well as the temporary closure of the U.S. Embassy in Jordan during a critical processing period. In line with our continued commitment to transparency and participant protection, Cosmopolitan WWE is offering a full refund to 2026 students affected by these circumstances.
These actions reflect our unwavering commitment to transparency, accountability, and the best interests of our participants. Cultural exchange programs can face unexpected challenges beyond our control, including embassy closures, appointment shortages, travel disruptions, changes in visa procedures, sponsor deadlines, and international circumstances. In every situation, our priority remains clear communication, realistic options, organized follow-up, and professional support.

Claiming Your Tax Refund as an International student who worked in the U.S.
Applying for Tax back:
When working as a student in the United States, taxes are withheld from your paychecks, but the tax rates are different from those applied to U.S. citizens. Since you are a visitor, your tax rates are typically lower, and at the end of the year, you can apply for a tax refund by completing a tax back registration form and providing the necessary documents.
