About us
Away2Xplore was established in 2002 and has since placed thousands of English speaking South Africans with US, Canadian and Caribbean employers, who require seasonal workers for 8 to 10 months. Over the past 15 years we have largely placed our recruits with US amusement parks where working hours are long and irregular and with little time off. Through the years we have also placed many of our recruits with concessionaires, handling food, as well as placing administrators with great success. Many of our recruits have also proven themselves at State Fairs where jobs are demanding.
Our Head Office is based in Sandton (Johannesburg) in the centre of the financial heart of the country. From here we coordinate the operation and manage the incoming and outgoing flights.
OR Tambo is the largest airport in the country. We are located 15 minutes from the main US consulate which processes a large number of visas for us, but also deal with the Durban and Cape Town consulate's for visas of our recruits in the Cape and Natal.
We have a network of 12 branches in South Africa and are represented country wide. Our agents are trained and updated on a regular basis with regard to our latest interview techniques, orientations and changes abroad such as visa regulations for example. Due to our good reputation within the recruitment industry, the solid relationship that we have built with the US consulates in South Africa, the large number and variety of recruits that we have placed, we are able to offer large numbers of suitable South African's an adventure and work opportunity of a lifetime.
It makes us and our team feel fantastic!
