Proposed OPT Fees May Disrupt International Talent Pipeline
A proposed rule from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would impose substantial new fees on Optional Practical Training (OPT), creating a significant hurdle for employers that rely on international students as part of their early-career talent pipeline. Under the proposal, U.S. schools would pay a $70,000 fee for each F-1 international student receiving initial OPT authorization and $30,000 for each subsequent authorization, including STEM OPT extensions.

Lower the Barriers, Raise the Bar: How to Build Strong L&D Programs
Most employees want to grow. They want new skills, more responsibility, and a clear path forward in their careers. Yet many of them never enroll in the learning programs their employers offer, even when those programs could change their trajectory. Often the reason is not a lack of interest.

Meetings May Be More Valuable Than Many Think
Meetings are costly, often unpopular, and potentially disruptive. But they may also be an important mechanism for learning, collaboration, and organizational performance, according to recent research. A working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research, based on survey and administrative data from about 9,000 workers, found that employees spend an average of 4.7 hours a week in meetings, or about 12% of a standard workweek.
AI Exposure Alone Doesn’t Predict Where Jobs Grow
The U.S. labor market is entering a period of slower overall employment growth and continued technological change — but new projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) suggest employers should be cautious about assuming that artificial intelligence exposure alone will determine which jobs survive or disappear. The BLS projects the U.S. economy will add 5.9 million jobs between 2025 and 2035, with total employment rising 3.5%.
President Donald Trump Rebrands AI as 'Super Intelligence'
President Donald Trump’s stated support for voluntary industry guardrails and the decision to rebrand artificial intelligence as “super intelligence,” or “SI,” are the latest developments in an increasingly fragmented workplace technology regulatory landscape.
