Working holidays

IEP is a non-profit organization that offers personal placement and low program fees for working holidays. Most of the staff at IEP is of young Kiwis. These have traveled around the world and worked abroad for a considerable period. So, they know their destinations precisely. They know exactly what people expect to convert the overseas experience into the best phase of their life. It is observed that every year hundreds of New Zealanders use the services of IEP to create a unique working holiday.

The applications for working holidays in Britain are available throughout the year. The participants have to make a choice between individual departures or one out of the five group flights. As per Work Britain program, it is possible to spend two years living and working in the United Kingdom. This consists of 12 months work and 12 months travel. As there are many budget airlines in the country, it is simple to roam through Continental Europe on the weekends or other days when the person has an off. The Work Britain program designed by IEP is meant to save time and money. 75% of the participants get a job within just three days. Their bank account is opened in a single day. The participants have to submit just $3000 as proof of funds.

Prior to leaving for a working holiday program, the following things have to be considered. Visas are very difficult to procure, but IEP has good contacts in Britain and it facilitates and expedites the procedure to a great extent. A little handy booklet is supplied as a guide to the participants. It includes all the information ranging from sample CVs to money matters. The IEP also provides for pre-departure support. When a person leaves for an adventure in a new country, there are millions of queries in his mind. The person can get answers to these queries through the pre-departure support. It often happens that participants of the program lose some valuable things during travel. To overcome this problem, the IEP offers discounted insurance with an extensive policy. This policy covers more things than just regular travel insurance.

As the staffs of IEP are travelers themselves, they know precisely what the participants would need on a working holiday. It is obvious that the participant can not take an IEP crew member as a guide with him. So, as a substitute, IEP offers a Lonely Planet Britain guidebook. This book is an ideal pocket companion during the adventure of good old Britannia. STA travel is IEP’s partner and this provides access to many discounted flights. Those who choose to go to France have to approach the in-house STA agent to make it possible.

When the person lands in an unknown city, he may get lost and lose his way. So, the IEP takes care that the person knows exactly in which hostel he is reserved some space. The first three night’s accommodation is done in one of three incredible central London or Edinburgh hostels. Further, the person is given information about the natives, getting jobs in Britain, finding a place to live, the places to be visited and all other relevant information.
