Interstride Fall Symposium 2024

Fragomen Partners Aaron Blumberg and Daniel Pierce are speaking during the Interstride Fall Symposium 2024 on Friday, November 15. Their virtual panel, "Empowering DACA Students in the Job Market: Work Authorization & Future Outlook" will take place from 1:00 pm - 1:45 pm ET.

This presentation will equip university personnel, including career advisors, with the tools to support DACA students as they navigate the complexities of the U.S. job market. We will provide a comprehensive overview of the work authorization options available to DACA recipients, explore potential changes in their employment eligibility, and discuss strategies for speaking with employers about these students' unique situations. Additionally, we will offer practical advice on how DACA students and recent graduates can approach job applications, particularly when addressing employment authorization questions. Finally, we will look at the future of DACA and offer guidance on how career advisors can continue to support DACA students and alumni as the landscape evolves.
