“Being part of the 2008/2009 program of Workaway was truly a life changing experience. Professionally it taught me that if I put my mind to something, I can achieve anything.

Personally my (now) husband proposed to me at Universal Studios and we got married 11 months later. Thank you for the wonderful program.”

TYRONE KEEVES - BOCA WEST COUNTRY CLUB

"I am grateful for the opportunity she has got to be part of the Workaway programme. Removing herself from her comfort zone and placing herself thousand of kilometres away from those she loves, takes courage and strength. She is excited to return to St Andrews and to expand her horizons and life. I am so proud of her and am truly blessed and humbled to be her father. In closing, I urge the youngsters who get an opportunity with Workaway to grab it with both hands. It is not easy, but to go, put their head down and work hard and make themselves proud."

Client Testimonials

“Recruiting seasonal staff in the Country Club industry has never been an easy task. We pride ourselves in the exceptional service, surrounded by the beautiful amenities and a top notch golf course. Workaway International has been successful in helping us fill our seasonal staffing needs. Without the assistance of Workaway we would not be able to provide the high standard of member service year round to our membership.”
SUSAN HOYT (HR) - THE COUNTRY CLUB AT MIRASOL
-
“Finding great employees who are willing to work in a club environment is not an easy task and Workaway International has continued to provide us with qualified employees who help bridge the gap in our seasonal staffing needs. Mirasol is similar to many of the great clubs in the United States in that we all have great golf courses and exceptional facilities, however, it is our employees who create the culture that make our members feel proud to belong to our club. We could not accomplish this task without the additional staffing that Workaway is able to provide.”

“We have found Workaway to be the most legal form of acquiring South Africans to work in America.”

"As a growing resort destination, we struggled to find enough skilled staff to support our seasonal needs. From the beginning, Workaway showed a lot of interest in knowing and understanding our business and leading us through the process in a way that was tailored to our operation and its needs. We have completed three seasons with Workaway and the H2B program which has been a total gamechanger for us and our business in providing highly skilled and motivated staff. We are particularly impressed with Workaway’s very accessible and attentive work style that makes it a true partnership in helping us staff our resort properly. We see this as a long term plan for our business. We highly recommend Workaway!"
