Edit to the original post: If you are on an H1B visa (60-day grace period), we have added a question so that you can let us know -- in the event that a company with a USA affiliate/subsidiary is willing to sponsor. Other than this, we only request your publicly available LinkedIn. If you are a technologist, please help us spread the word a bit: My name is Prof. Eleanor Brown. My bio and a quick background on my company (DiversiBoard/Techstars ATL powered by JP Morgan '22) is at this link:https://lnkd.in/ekvWm7Ks I am a Caribbean/American/Canadian law professor. Many companies in my native Caribbean are hiring highly skilled people for a wide variety of roles (developers/product managers/HR/UX/UI/general management - you name it, we are looking). I know this from first-hand experience because I am on the ground and I have served (and currently serve) on many (private and publicly traded) Caribbean boards. Our economies are robust and we have globally competitive companies. It seems clear to me that if recently laid-off persons are willing to consider Caribbean opportunities, we could very easily shorten their transition period. A quick plug for my native region. We have arguably the most diverse countries on earth, with migrants from every corner of the globe (as someone who values inclusion, I should note that I wish we had made greater strides on LGBTQ+ inclusivity - I personally continue to work very hard to improve human rights protections for ALL people). Many Caribbean companies have remote or hybrid opportunities for persons who are highly skilled. Travel to the Caribbean is extremely convenient. For those who are seeking to relocate, our migration regimes are very favorable. If you know someone who has recently been laid off (we accept everyone without regard to race/gender/nationality etc.), please circulate. I am a law professor and I take privacy seriously so all we are asking for is your publicly available LinkedIn - we are not asking for any other information. The site is not interactive - we do NOT currently have a job board - our only goal is to figure out if you are interested in a Caribbean opportunity. Please login on diversiboard.io (PLEASE NOTE: .io NOT .com) My LinkedIn is https://lnkd.in/eVPiqgJs and my email is professoreleanor@diversiboard.com. Thank you!
Hello Prof. Brown! Would these opportunities extend to folks working remote here in the US who dont want to relocate to the Caribbean? I have a network of content creators (journalists, copywriters, social media, videographers, etc) who are open to all types of opportunities to work remote on flexible schedules. Please let me know!
Hi Prof, You are doing a great job really! I’m a brand designer/graphic designer/social media manager looking to work for a company and also open to the internships you advertise. I can forward a link to my portfolio upon request. Kindly consider my request, Thank you.
