From Campus to Corporate: J-1 Research Scholars in Industry
Cultural Vistas Webinar!
Location
Online
Date & Time
October 8, 2025, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Description
Note: While Cultural Vistas is a known organization, we always recommend you verify information and make decisions in consultation with our own Office of International Students and Scholars.
Are your scholars or students exploring career opportunities beyond academia? This session is designed to help you understand how to transition to the private sector through J-1 sponsorship with Cultural Vistas.
We’ll cover:
- How transferring J-1 Research Scholar sponsorship to Cultural Vistas opens up nearly all of the private sector
- How current F-1 students who are completing OPT/STEM OPT can change their status to J-1 (assuming they are conducting research)
- Eligibility and application process
- Strategies for leveraging academic experience in industry
- Real-world success stories and actionable tips
This is a great opportunity for scholars and students to learn about alternative immigration pathways and how Cultural Vistas can support their professional journey.
For those who can’t attend live, they can still register to receive the recording and materials afterward.
