You are welcome to visit CUSSW anytime - even if you don't have immediate hiring needs. The Office of Career & Leadership Development welcomes employers to visit the school and meet students. Information sessions are a great venue to educate students about your organization and related opportunities. Information sessions are generally one hour in duration and are conducted by an employer representative (Executive Director, HR representative, or CUSSW alumna/us). We encourage presenters to talk about their organization’s culture and to describe typical graduate-level opportunities and career paths. Presenters have the option to use MS PowerPoint to assist their presentation, and are welcome to distribute informational materials. Time is usually included at the end for questions.
How do I hire an international student?
International students offer a wide range of skills and abilities, including multiple languages and cross-cultural skills, maturity, flexibility, proven ability to adapt to new situations, and knowledge of work practices in another country. International students generally hold F-1 (student) visas while studying in the United States. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) permits students to undertake internships during their studies and full-time employment for a specific period of time after graduation for practical training. The INS defines practical training as paid employment related to the student's field of study. If you have questions about hiring international students, please consult your human resources department or refer to the Columbia University International Students and Scholars office.
