Alto

For sponsors

Our sponsor network

We work with four sponsors designated by the U.S. Department of State, and match each employer to the one that fits its roles, season and locations.

How we work with sponsors

Sponsors run the program: they screen and select every participant, handle program documents and run participant orientation.

We bring vetted host opportunities, prepare host employer documentation, and arrange housing, transportation and local support.

Who does what

  • Sponsors

    Screen and select participants, issue program documents, run orientation and stay the participant’s main contact.

  • Alto HR

    Finds and vets host opportunities, prepares host documentation, and arranges housing, transport and daily support.

  • Host employers

    Provide the eligible job, the training and the supervision, as the program requires.

What we bring to a sponsor

  • Vetted host opportunities

    Retail, grocery and hospitality roles checked against program rules before we share them.

  • Documentation

    Host employer information prepared for your vetting, including our vetting pack.

  • Local support

    Housing, getting to work and a local team on the ground through the season.

  • Honest reporting

    We tell you early about any problem with a placement, housing or a participant’s welfare.

Sponsors screen and select every participant. Participants work in eligible seasonal roles only: no warehouse or distribution work, no jobs worked mostly between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., and no jobs that need a driver’s license. Participants are never contractors, and they never pay Alto a fee.
