The lucky 80 who received the H-1B visa under the program will not be associated with a nationwide pool, within which 85 thousands of such visas are issued annually. According to the plans of the officials, entrepreneurs will settle directly on campuses, acting as consultants for students. The details of the employment of foreigners are still unclear, but representatives of NYCEDC say that in the next three years around 700 jobs will be created under the program.
