Description
The Department of Stateäó»s (State) Summer Work Travel (SWT) program, created in 1961, is intended to further U.S. public diplomacy by giving foreign undergraduate students short-term opportunities to experience the people and way of life in the U.S. In 2005, GAO found that Stateäó»s oversight was insufficient to prevent abuse of the SWT program or its participants. Since 2010, some misues of the program by participants and criminal organizations and abuses of participants -- for example, low wages and substandard living conditions -- have been reported. Also, State has noted that the programäó»s work component has often overshadowed its cultural component. This report examines, among other things, steps that State has taken since 2010 to strengthen program requirements as well as Stateäó»s oversight of sponsors and participants. Table and figures. This is a print on demand report.
