If you are completing your program at the end of the spring semester (Congratulations!), and are interested in pursuing employment in the U.S. it's time to learn about the Optional Practical Training (OPT) for F-1 status and Academic Training (AT) for J-1 status. Start your preparation early!

o OPT is a benefit and extension of F-1 student status that allows you to work in your field of study for up to 12 months and is authorized by USCIS, the immigration agency. If you missed our OPT webinars this semester, don't worry! Watch the recording here: https://bit.ly/postoptwebinar and learn more about the eligibility requirements and application procedures: http://bit.ly/optemployment.

o Academic Training is a benefit of J-1 student status that allows you to work —either paid or unpaid — for the purpose of applying knowledge and skills learned during your program of study. Graduating students in J-1 status whose DS-2019 was issued by Columbia and are interested in Academic Training (AT) should review the information on the AT webpage here: http://bit.ly/issoj1at. Other J-1 students should contact their J-1 sponsor for information.

• Global Careers Supporting International Diplomacy, Tues., April 2
