Growbie International Student Career Fair 2023: Student Registration

Welcome to Growbie's International Student Career Fair!! This is the FIRST EVER career fair for international students, and it carries significant importance, inclusion, and hope.

There are one million international students who travel thousands of miles to study in the US for college and beyond, but 80% of them leave the country upon graduation. Landing a job in the US is extremely difficult for international students because of cultural differences, lack of network, and regulatory challenges.

While elements like the H1B cap may be beyond our influence, we channel our focus towards aspects within our control. Here at Growbie, we started to focus on addressing cultural differences and lack of network by teaching international students how to stand up for themselves and how to build a network in a foreign land. We are proud to share that we have unleashed over 100 international students into a better networker, and ultimately landed their dream jobs.

Now, we are taking another step closer towards career success: bringing together companies who value diversity and inclusion and are willing to give hard working students a chance to build their life here in America. Simply put, we are inviting companies who are willing to sponsor CPT, OPT, H1B to our career fair to close the talent gap. For international students, no more wandering around the career fair and talking to 20% of the companies and felt unwelcomed and undesired.

We know how it feels because we were there. Growbie is built by international students, for international students that are coming after us, to make things easier and better.
