Proposed changes to specialized work visas could help foreign students
ideastream: David Fleshler, vice provost of international affairs, talked about a proposed bill would allow some foreign students to find work in the U.S. “One of the programs that international students can use is something called ‘optional practical training,’ in which they can stay in the country and work with specific companies for one to three years. They will clearly be aiding the economy of Northeast Ohio and the country as they go out and do these things,” Fleshler said.
