Academic Travel Abroad

Working for ATA

“Our employees are our most precious resource.” When you work for us, you hear that statement around the office. More importantly, you feel that statement around the office. Whether you’re leaving the office promptly at 5pm (with no expectation that you’ll log in from home at night), learning about the ATA career paths other staff have taken at a Career Day, or submitting a proposal about an idea you had for increasing efficiency within your division, working for ATA means feeling valued…like a precious resource.

Work-Life Balance

8 weeks of paid Parental Leave. 5 weeks of Paid Time Off to start. Flexible work arrangements. And absolutely no pressure from management to check email after hours. When we say we support work-life balance, we mean it.

Supportive Culture

We recruit hard-working, challenge-seeking staff who love travel and have their own travel stories to share. The pace of work is fast and the details exacting, but the culture is supportive. Need help? Ask a colleague, your manager…or even our CEO. Her door is always open.

Excellent Management

People don’t leave companies, they leave managers. So we support our management team with ongoing professional development that helps them meet our high expectations—that managers listen openly, communicate directly, and empower staff to problem-solve and grow.

World Impact

We are an eco-certified organization with ongoing initiatives to diversify staff, promote sustainability, and give back to local communities. Want to work for a company that cares about the world? Look no further.
