Addressing Workforce Gaps in Northern VA through International Student Retention

Join the The Dulles Regional Chamber of Commerce (DRCC) – International Business Council Businesses and the Virginia SBDC to learn about the opportunities to employ international students and graduates as well as the resources available through universities to support these hires. International students/graduates can play a valuable role in Greater Washington to fill the continuing workforce shortfall. Hear from George Mason University, the Northern Virginia Community College, Williams Mullen law firm, and regional employers as to the current environment for hiring international students and how your business can tap into this highly skilled pool of workers. Virginia’s world-renowned universities attract some of the best and brightest from around the globe, but the overwhelming majority of international students return to their native countries after graduation.
