Thursday, August 17, 2023 (8:30 AM - 9:30 AM) (EDT)
Description
Capital Conversations: How the U.S. Is Closing the Door to Top Talent
The federal government is making it harder for employers to find and keep the talent they desperately need.
Join the Buffalo Niagara Partnership for a Capital Conversation highlighting the urgent need for H-1B visa reform as a way to help employers address their growing talent challenges.
The federal H-1B program enables employers to hire top talent from around the globe, filling critical jobs and expanding our country’s capabilities.
But the current H-1B visa cap is outdated and fails to meet employers’ needs.
This event will explore the H-1B visa program, its current shortcomings, needed reforms, and the impact those reforms would have on our regional economy.
Panelists include:
Oscar Budde, Associate Vice Provost and Director for Immigration Services, University at Buffalo
Randy Harris, CEO, Lighthouse Technology Services
Zabrina Reich, Immigration Attorney, Phillips Lytle
