Sessions

Over the next 20 years, immigrants and the children of immigrants will account for 85% of the growth in the U.S. workforce. In addition, proposed immigration reform could mean that more professional, midlevel, foreign-educated workers will be our workforce than ever before. Are you aware of the large population of foreign-educated workers that already exists in the U.S. with permanent work authorization? Do you know how to evaluate foreign degrees and experience? Do your D&I policies include welcoming initiatives that account for a different level of cultural competency and/or cultural awareness? What are the practices and policies that can ensure you are and will continue to tap into this talent pool? This session will take you through the strategies you need to recruit global talent, evaluate foreign experience and degrees and ensure the successful integration of tomorrow's professional workers. This session will help you:

• Gain a deeper understanding of the existing population of foreign educated, work-authorized candidates and how to reach this talent pool.
• Evaluate your organization's current level of cultural competence and the effectiveness of your diversity and inclusion policies.
• Develop strategies and systems to more effectively evaluate foreign experience and degrees.
