Finding employment during the Optional Practical Training (OPT) work authorization period can be challenging and maybe a little scary. Meet some international alumni who not only navigated the process but also found employment in the field they wanted. For students who are interested, the Office of International Students, Scholars & Programs (ISSP) is hosting a mini workshop on how to apply for OPT before the panel.
