This new four-week, self-guided e-Learning course will take participants beyond the basics to improve advising strategies for F-1 students seeking employment and training benefits. Through a series of employment and training scenarios, participants will dive into the gray areas where answers require in-depth understanding of regulations and agency guidance, clear institutional policy, and an individualized advising approach that considers all the options.
Special bonus: Participants will receive access to the NAFSA Adviser's Manual 360 for the duration of the course.
Who Should Register?
This is an intermediate-level course. In order to successfully apply the complex skills that are covered, participants must have some prior advising experience or formal training. The content builds on the foundational competence that is gained from completing the “F-1 Advising: Getting Started” e-Learning course, the “F-1 Beginners” Core Education Program Workshop, or formal on-the-job training.

- Consider institutional interpretations and application of employment regulations.
- Advise students about eligibility and long-term impact of different employment options.
- Perform administrative tasks to support students to engage in authorized practical training and employment.
- Stay informed of agency guidance impacting the application of employment regulations.
