College-Educated Immigrants Needed for Survey
Research to Look at Improving Employment and Economic Opportunities Across the U.S.
New York, NY – World Education Services and IMPRINT (Immigrant Professional Integration coalition) are conducting a landmark survey to study the experiences of skilled immigrants who have been educated overseas and are seeking to use their foreign education and professional experience in the U.S. The survey is the most comprehensive study of its kind – and is widely regarded as a benchmark for the field to integrate and leverage the talents of skilled workers, and look at ways to improve employment and economic opportunities for immigrants across the U.S.
Skilled immigrants from the cities of Detroit, Miami, San Jose, and Seattle are asked to participate in this important research. Individuals from all nations, races and ethnic backgrounds with higher education earned overseas are asked to participate. “Whether you are a new arrival or long-time resident, working in your profession or in a “survival” job, your participation is encouraged and will make a difference” said Paul Feltman, IMPRINT’s Chair and Director of WES Global Talent Bridge.
The survey is available online in four languages: English, French, Spanish and Vietnamese. It takes approximately 10 – 15 minutes to complete. All responses are anonymous and confidential. No names or personal details such as immigration status are collected. The results of the survey will be available in the Spring of 2015. Participants can enter a drawing to win a $100 Amazon gift card. To participate in this study please go to: www.wes.org/TellYourStory
