Companies used to train people. You could work your way from an entry-level position and eventually learn many parts of the business, which would result in senior managers and executives who deeply understood it.
But employers haven't been interested in training for decades. Training is spending time not making money. They want people who already know how to make money for them from day one, which is a reason they import workers, rather than train citizens. In other words, corporations created the conditions they now use to hire H-1B workers.
So I think this program does real harm to American workers. I think they should end it entirely and force companies to focus more on training, or go back to treating university curricula as their feeder programs by partnering with schools, like they used to.
I say that having just hired an H-1B worker because there weren't any comparable candidates. Companies don't value loyalty and treat workers as disposable, so it's no surprise. That's the fundamental problem that needs to be addressed, but now there's even less incentive to create entry-level jobs because of AI.
why not limit H1-B to training positions. Make it illegal to give them any logins on the systems outside of standard accounts and have to work through citizens. Its a security issue or some such.
I'm not quite sure I understand your logic. H-1B is a visa type. If your visa is not renewed, you must leave the country. Your proposal really wouldn't satisfy either side of the arrangement, because once training ends, foreign workers would have to find a new role or leave. For companies, it's tedious, time-consuming, and expansive to update or renew an H-1B visa. It would also be ripe for abuse, as both sides would be incentivized to ignore that stipulation.
Training should not need to end. If someone can do it themselves then get another employee up to speed. They could run classes or act as a kind of guru. I mean if the need is that important. The ripe for abuse thing can apply to any crime.
