As International students one of our most asked questions personally is now that I have graduated, what next? What do I do? Where should I go for work? How do I find a job? Talking to immigration lawyers, employers, international students who have done internship and many other resources at this Conference will help you clear out the answers about Visas, employment, and opportunities. Many international students from past years have told us they have, if not found answers, gained more confidence on their future from this event.
