Immigration law attorney John Bleimaier examines this question in detail and sheds light on the importance of adequate documentation and research.

Harnessing Educational Institutions for Your Business Growth

This summer there was a flurry of news (see U.S. News and World Report, USA Today, The NY Times) about the ways training providers misrepresent their services or abilities.

The coverage was sparked by the release of the Harkin report, a federal government report on for-profit colleges. Why am I bothering to mention this on a blog for business executives?

Because in the wake of the Harkin report, the New York State legislature passed The Quality and Excellence in Business and Trade Schools Bill. This new law modernizes the State’s authority to regulate proprietary (i.e., for-profit) schools. And, this is good news for business executives who often use proprietary schools to train their staff in new software, new equipment, and new processes.
