Below is the State Department's definition of these terms: Summer Work/Travel: (b) Purpose. The purpose of this program is to provide foreign college and university students with opportunities to interact with US citizens, experience US culture while sharing their own cultures with Americans they meet, travel in the US, and work in jobs that require minimal training and are seasonal or temporary in order to earn funds to help defray a portion of their expenses. Employment is of a seasonal nature when the required service is tied to a certain time of the year by an event or pattern and requires labor levels above and beyond existing worker levels. Employment is of a temporary nature when an employer's need for the duties to be performed is a one-time occurrence, a peak load need, or an intermittent need. It is the nature of employers' needs, not the nature of the duties that is controlling.
