You should take a look at the following website. The State Department can fund your whole trip, but you should read more about it. http://exchanges.state.gov/youth/programs.html

How do I turn a student visa into a work visa?
How do I turn a student visa into a work visa?
I am studying in Italy, but would like to stay when my studies are over. After I have found work, or before I have found work (since some jobs require the work visa), how can I obtain the work visa while still residing in the country? Help! My student visa expires in July!

im also studying in italy with a student visa, in what area of italy are you studying and are you studying to get a degree here or just for regular classes? it also depends, do you already have a degree? i would think to have a work visa here in italy you would simply have to apply to a job (if you have a degree and they are interested) you can simply get the job offer, go to the Questura, get the papers needed, fill them in and apply. thats at least what im doing when im finishing my studies. this is also my last year at the university until 'io sono laureata' in industrial design. if not, just get a simple job kinda like under the table type of thing like so many people do here and eventually after some time, 6 or 7 months apply for a work vida, but you would have to be sure for what 'ditta' or company/restaurant youll be under. hope it helps!

Why do just want to go for a summer? Do you really think that you can benefit from just 3 months. Typically you see this in college but not in the HS level. If you only want to go for three months you should see what other programs are out there through Rotary or through your school or church. We had a foreign exchange student from Russia and he stayed August through April. He really integrated into our family and we are still close.

Hi, I agree with the other poster, if you limit yourself to just a summer program, you lose many of the benefits of being an exchange student -- mainly the culture and language immersion. If you are just there for the summer, it's more of a holiday and not an academic experience. If you go for a whole year, or at least a semester, you will be studying in a different language -- and you will truly learn it! Also, colleges and universities LOVE exchange students and often offer them preferred admissions and sometimes scholarship money. On top of that, the language you learn will benefit you in the workplace as well, with a higher salary, especially if you maintain that training through college. All of this equals a much bigger "bang for your buck"! As to finding a program, you can look at www.csiet.org. That site lists all the programs certified to operate in the U.S. You should also ask your high school counselor, as an organization is only as good as its local representatives. Generally, Rotary is the cheapest, but most competitive, and AFS, Aspect, 4-H and YFU are usually quality programs as well and offer scholarships. The best time to go is your junior year. Then you can work your credits easier (your school will give you credit for some of what you do as an exchange student too, but get it in writing) and will have all the fun of your senior year and graduating with your class. For lots of info on being an exchange student, check out http://www.exchangestudentworld.com/ -- a site written by exchange students for exchange students! Good luck -- and PLEASE consider the longer program!

Hi. You should look up about AFS. They have year programs and summer programs too. I was an AFS student back in 2005-2006. AFS is well-known throughout the world. If you live in the US, there should be an AFS chapter in every states even in Alaska. Have fun searching.

Join the military....seriously

If you do got to Italy to study mechanical engineering you only get a study visa. You won't be able to work in Italy. The only way you get a job is someone offer you a job. He/She would have to advertise the job in all 27 EU countries before employing someone from outside the EU. Too much paper work and red tape employing someone from outside the EU.
