Smoothing
the way for
International
Students
Some companies hesitate to hire foreign nationals
because they fear the costs or don't understand
the legal requirements. Case Western
has developed strategies to remove obstacles and
ease the way for international students.

Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management, I spend much of my time helping
international students secure jobs. Since
2008, that has been harder to do, partly
because of the economic downturn and
partly because some employers believe
there are too many obstacles to hiring
graduates who are from outside the U.S.
