Program Content & Takeaways

We will be discussing the H2B Visa Program and how it could help your company.  United Work and Travel facilitates legal filings and recruitment for this Department of Labor governed non-immigrant work program that allows for seasonal or temporary workers to enter the U.S. and work for your organization for up to nine months.  For companies that struggle to fill seasonal or temporary positions, this is an excellent way to supplement your local workforce. In addition, it’s an exceptional opportunity to enrich your organization’s culture be exposing your employees to the perspectives of foreign workers.
