What are the chances of getting a job in the US after completing my course with a good score?
It depends. Securing a job in the US after your course is possible, especially with strong academic scores and your significant work experience, but international students do face extra challenges.
- Employment rates: Around 44.6% of international graduates find jobs after graduation, compared to 62.1% of domestic students (figures subject to change).
- STEM advantage: Degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are in higher demand and can offer more job opportunities.
- Work authorization: You can work in the US for up to 12 months after graduation through Optional Practical Training (OPT), with a possible 24-month extension for STEM fields.
Highlighting your 100 months of work experience and actively networking can improve your chances. For tailored guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
