Title: Struggling with Staffing? How your Club can successfully Utilize Foreign Nationals to overcome your Staffing Hurdles
Description:
With unemployment near an all-time low and fewer and fewer Americans being willing to work hospitality jobs, staffing a private club for a New England season can be daunting, if not impossible. If only there were a staffing solution that virtually guaranteed that you filled your open positions with qualified, excited, and capable workers…
This session will focus on H-2B seasonal visa options for New England's private clubs. It will not only provide the basics of the H-2B visa, but will also delve into other visa options including the J-1 trainee visa and year-round visa options for your higher-level staff. This presentation will then discuss how to make hiring foreign nationals a huge success for your organization with a discussion of practical tips to utilize as well as common traps to avoid.
This session will also discuss some of the struggles with H-2B and J-1 visas, including the H-2B visa cap, J-1 visa reform, government compliance mandates, and denials and consulates and embassies.
This session is not to be missed if you constantly feel that your organization is not fully or appropriately staffed and if you are looking for best practices when filing H-2B or J-1 visa applications for your foreign national workers. Don't miss a great opportunity to utilize a staffing option to fill your most pressing staffing needs!
