CIEE, Ireland’s leading J1 sponsor, has officially opened applications for its 2026 J1 programme. Following record demand last year, with places selling out well in advance of summer, students are encouraged to apply early to secure their spot. This year’s Early Bird offer starts from just €549, available until October 31st. CIEE continues to offer students the chance to live, work and travel in the United States, with job placements available in popular destinations such as Boston, Chicago, San Diego and New York. “CIEE’s Camp America program was truly an unforgettable experience! I had the opportunity to work with amazing people from all over the world, learn valuable leadership and communication skills, and make a real impact on campers’ lives. It was the perfect mix of adventure, personal growth, and cultural exchange — a summer I’ll always remember,” said Tom French – Summer Camp (Tyler Hill). In addition to the J1 programme, CIEE offers Graduate, Internship and Camp Exchange programmes, providing participants with valuable international experience and opportunities for professional and personal growth. These programmes are designed to build global skills and connections and are now being offered lower rates to make cultural exchange more accessible to a wider range of participants. Applications for all CIEE programmes are now open. For more information on CIEE and its programmes, visit www.cieeireland.ie or follow @CIEE_J1USA on Instagram and/or TikTok.
