International students are a talent pool employers cannot afford to overlook

International Talent, Local Impact.

Every year, more than 20,000 international students enroll in colleges and universities in Greater Philadelphia. They play a vital role in the local higher education system and significantly impact the area’s economy. These students choose to study in the U.S. for various reasons, with many aspiring to gain work experience here after graduation.

Join Campus Philly and International House Philadelphia, in partnership with The Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia and hosted by Temple CIBER, as we explore key research, current trends, and the future potential of international talent in Greater Philadelphia.
