Attendees interested in global talent solutions will learn how to bring qualified foreign talent to their workplaces without having to rely on the burdensome H-1B visa.
The COVID pandemic may be receding but its impact on economic development in the United States still lingers through talent shortages, reduced professional training, and missed opportunities for cross-cultural exchange. Perhaps you are interested in global talent but feel your only option is the expensive and risky H-1B? Or you need to train a foreign employee in the U.S. but L and H-3 aren't exactly the right fit? Let us introduce you to the EB-3 and J-1 visa categories, both excellent - though very different -tools to satisfy your global talent needs while diversifying your workforce. Attendees will learn about the appropriate usage of these programs and basic requirements and costs and hear from a panel of experts that cover the entire process from international recruitment to visa sponsorship to satisfied host employer.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn about both immigrant (EB-3) and non-immigrant (J-1) visa options and how they can be used to attract top talent to your organization.
- Hear about how the process works from both recruitment and visa experts.
- Discover how a current host employer has been successful using the J-1 Visa Program to recruit and train their talent.
