Benefits

A cap-exempt H-1B visa solution with a 99% acceptance rate

Visa Sponsorship & Support

The Build Fellowship offers ongoing immigration support and guidance to Build Fellows, while sponsoring them for their part-time cap-exempt H-1B visas. This enables benefactors to file a full-time cap-exempt H-1B visa concurrently.

    Part-Time, Remote Employment

    Fellows work 5+ hours per week launching projects and educational programming at partner universities to develop students’ skills and knowledge and prepare them for the future workforce.

    • 1:1 lecture and mentorship sessions
    • Experiential learning projects in your specialized field
    • Hours are flexible and based on Fellow schedules

    Requirements

    Admission requirements

    • A Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience in a specialized field
    • Exhibit a commitment to dedicate 5-8 hours weekly to support workforce development and education initiatives
    • Demonstrated expertise within a specialized field

    Candidates must have a benefactor (a company, organization, or individual) willing to support the Fellowship costs – Fellows cannot fund their own Fellowship.
