# What is the Job Placement Program?
## Get matched with a U.S. employer and let InterExchange handle the hiring process.
Most students interested in living and working abroad need help finding a job. Each year, InterExchange matches thousands of international students with employment opportunities across the U.S. The first step is to speak with an agency in your [home country](https://www.interexchange.org/programs/work-travel-usa/international-staff/partner-agencies). Once you’re accepted into our Job Placement program, you will have access to our Online Matching System. You can view hundreds of job listings from different host employers across the United States. You can apply to these positions based on your preferred job type and location. We encourage you to be open to new experiences and consider all kinds of opportunities in different areas of the U.S. Once a host employer makes a job offer and you accept the position, InterExchange will:
- Prepare you for what to expect while working and [living in the U.S.](https://www.interexchange.org/about-us/cultural-compass)
- Process your J-1 Visa paperwork
- Provide information on applying for a Social Security number when you arrive in the U.S.
- Provide you with [housing information](https://www.interexchange.org/programs/work-travel-usa/international-staff/resources/housing-guide) from your host employer
- Arrange your [accident and sickness](https://www.interexchange.org/programs/work-travel-usa/international-staff/resources/insurance) insurance
- Support you every step of the way!
