The webinar will focus on the demand for such workers, and efforts to increase the number of visas that are made available each year. The program will be produced by UCSD’s School of Global Policy and Strategy and will feature one of the school’s professors, Gaurav Khanna; Çağlar Özden, lead economist in Development Economics at The World Bank; and U.S. Rep.
