Our story, briefly
Kouzon Corporation started placing students in international programs 27 years ago and has since worked with more than 30,000+ of them. Today the group is active in 18 countries, 5 of which are dedicated student-program markets, and serves students from Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, Serbia, Kenya.
That work has been recognised with 4 Stubrand Awards and 2 Superbrands honours — but the measure we care about is the number of students who come back for a second, third and fourth summer.
Five reasons
Why students choose Kouzon
Staff who did it themselves
Most of the team spent their own summers working in the United States. When you ask what a housekeeping shift actually feels like, you get a real answer.
Decades of track record
27 years, 30,000++ students placed, 4× Stubrand Award winner and 2× Superbrands recipient.
Offices plus a 100% online option
Walk into an office and sit down with a consultant, or complete every single step from your laptop. Same team, same service.
Flexible pricing and payment
A deposit at registration and the rest in instalments, arranged around a student budget rather than against it.
A large network of vetted employers
Resorts, hotels, amusement parks, restaurants and shops across the United States that have hired Kouzon students season after season.
24/7, 365 days a year
Lost luggage in Chicago, a shift dispute in Ohio, a question about your DS-2019 at midnight — someone from Kouzon answers.
Sponsors
What a J-1 sponsor actually is
The single most important legitimacy check when choosing an agency.
CIEE
Designated J-1 sponsor
InterExchange
Designated J-1 sponsor
GreenHeart
Designated J-1 sponsor
In one line: a sponsor is an organisation officially designated by the U.S. Department of State to run J-1 exchange programs. It screens employers, issues the DS-2019 form you need for your visa interview, provides your insurance and remains legally responsible for participants throughout the summer. Kouzon is the authorised local representative of CIEE, InterExchange and GreenHeart — so your placement sits inside that official framework, not outside it.
