Jobs for International Students after Graduation

According to a 2017 report by the National Foundation for American Policy, six out of the top ten US tech companies were among the top employers for approved H-B visa applications: Amazon, Google, Intel and Microsoft. Facebook and Apple were 14th and 15th on the list. Demand is high in the United States for highly skilled talent in technology industries.

A second NFAP report revealed that international students pursuing graduate degrees in technical disciplines were essential to filling jobs in electrical engineering and computer science. Without them, the number of graduates in these fields would be insufficient to meet demand in view of the size of the American economy.

Here are just a few of the careers in high demand in the United States.

Cybersecurity: The job outlook for specialists who plan and implement measures to protect an organization's computer systems and networks is projected to grow by 28 percent by 2026.

While many entry-level jobs in this field require a bachelor's degree, many employers are looking for people with an MS in Information Systems or a Cybersecurity Master of Science degree.

Cloud computing: Here, possessing a BA in Computer Science, Engineering or Information Systems is the way to get your foot in the door. Again, employers of network architects may also look for someone with a master's degree.

One way to acquire the necessary education for a job as a Computer Network Analyst would be to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Computer and Information Science with a focus in cloud computing, or a similar degree.

Software developers: the creative talent behind mobile development and web design and development. The estimated employment outlook for software developers is 24 percent, far higher than the national average for all occupations. Computer Science degrees are the most frequently asked for qualification. Employers also expect applicants to have skills in programming and computer languages in addition to some knowledge of finance in order to meet the needs of the banking industry.

Mechatronics: a multidisciplinary field of science that embraces several areas: electronic engineering, computer science, mechanical engineering, control engineering, telecommunications, and systems engineering. Mechatronics technologists are involved in automating the manufacturing process.
