International graduates seek work experience

Higher education in the U.S. is coveted among students world-wide. Coupled with that, and perhaps equally as attractive, is pursuing work in the U.S. after graduation. This desire isn't necessarily for long-term employment but primarily for job training with U.S. entities that demonstrate best practices in a variety of field.s

International graduates who want to stay for training and employment in the U.S. may be well-advised to consult an immigration attorney to make sure they do what needs to be done and maximize their chances of approval. Leslie Dellon, an attorney at the American Immigration Council, advises, "The immigration system is not a crossword puzzle. It's risky to not get a consultation."

Employers may also want to consider the value of hiring international graduates since they represent some of the best talent the world has to offer. Rather than leave it to the prospective international employee, assistance from those in charge of hiring could be a simple way to increase the talent pool and secure a loyal employee.
