As Health Systems Struggle With Nursing Shortages, CGFNS International Sees a Sharp Rise in Nurses Seeking to Migrate to the U.S.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Dec 6, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – In a report published today, CGFNS International revealed that in 2023, it issued its highest-ever number of occupational visa certifications to nurses and other skilled health workers seeking to migrate to the U.S., where health systems confront a staffing crisis.

The company, a non-profit that verifies credentials for immigration authorities and state licensing boards, said it issued nearly 27,000 of its VisaScreen® certificates during the government fiscal year that ended in October. That is more than twice the number of certificates CGFNS issued the previous year.

The increase continues a six-year upward trend, during which the annual number of VisaScreen® certificates has quadrupled. Over this time, U.S. health systems have increasingly scrambled to fill staff vacancies amid a longstanding nursing shortage that was aggravated by pandemic-era challenges and is projected to worsen through the end of the decade.

In the report, CGFNS stated that higher levels of nurse immigration in recent years are likely to have peaked, even as the nursing shortage widens. This is because, barring intervention, U.S. visa availability is declining to pre-pandemic levels.

Data in the report were derived from applicant information submitted to the VisaScreen® Service and the CGFNS Credentials Evaluation Service, two leading pathways through which foreign-educated nurses and other healthcare professionals can migrate to and work in the U.S.

Other key findings in the report:

– The Philippines continues to be by far the largest source of immigrant nurses for the U.S., accounting for more than 60% of the total VisaScreen® certificates issued by CGFNS.

– In 2023, the vast majority (85%) of certificates were issued to registered nurses (RNs), with another 14% issued to clinical laboratory scientists.

– More than three-quarters (78%) of those applying for certificates were seeking permanent green cards, up from 64% in 2018 and up nine percentage points in just the past year, showing a strong trend toward permanent migration among nurses.

“Recruitment of nurses from outside the U.S. by using best practices has been critical to helping U.S. health systems cope with extraordinary staffing challenges and to ensure patient safety. With many thousands of qualified foreign-trained nurses willing and waiting to migrate to meet this present need, now is not the time to further restrict their numbers, especially when nurses want to come to the U.S. to advance their careers,” said Peter Preziosi, President and CEO of CGFNS.

Hospitality and Travel Job Roles Soars With 169% Surge In Hiring: foundit Insights Tracker

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 27, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – foundit (formerly Monster APAC & ME), one of the leading talent management platforms, today published the foundit Insights Tracker (fit) for October 2023, formerly published as Monster Employment Index (MEI). According to the Malaysian fit report, job roles in the Hospitality and Travel sector have impressively grown by 169% over the past year.

The tracker also reveals a promising year-on-year (YoY) growth of 16% e-recruitment, as the index climbed from 69 in Oct 2022 to 80 in Oct 2023. Additionally, a month-on-month (MoM) analysis also indicated an increase reflecting a positive job market. The rising index values reveal a thriving labour market that will benefitemployers and job seekers alike.

Commenting on Malaysia’s job trends for May 2023, Sekhar Garisa, CEO, foundit, said, “Our findings indicate a strong momentum and a promising future for Malaysia’s labour market. However, in this competitive landscape, companies are emphasising on individuals with sspecialised skills. Hence, job seekers must always be aware of the changing demands of the industry and equip themselves with the required skills. Upskilling and continuous learning will be the key to unlocking new opportunities and thriving in this dynamic landscape.”

Engineering, Construction, and Real Estate follow an upward trend in hiring activity, while the Oil and Gas, BFSI and IT/ Telecom & BPO Industries witness a drop in recruitment.

The Hospitality and Retail industries continue to lead the way among the industries, showing steady growth. The Hospitality industry saw a remarkable YoY growth of 111%, driven by Malaysia’s booming tourism industry, which draws an increasing number of domestic and foreign tourists. Similarly, the Retail industry at 108% marked noteworthy progress in e-recruitment owing to the huge retail sales. Being next in the rung, Engineering, Construction, and Real Estate industries also witnessed a YoY increase in October 2023 with a 42% rise in the hiring activity due to infrastructure developments, govt. policies, and rapid urbanisation plans of Malaysia.

The Oil and Gas industry, along with BFSI, IT, Telecom/ISP, and BPO/ITES, recorded a substantial deceleration in hiring activity, with a YoY decrease of 11%, 9% and 6%, respectively. This trend can be attributed to economic slowdowns, or uncertainties that lead to reduced investments and lower demand for services.

However, barring these industries, the overall hiring sentiment in Malaysia has been positive with Logistic, Courier/ Freight/ Transportation, Shipping/ Marine (+27%), Advertising, Market Research, Public Relations, Media and Entertainment (+17%) and Production/Manufacturing, Automotive and Ancillary (+12%) industries registered a substantial annual growth in October ’23. Overall, there has been an optimistic hiring in Oct ’23.

Hospitality, Retail & Real Estate Lead the Way in Hiring Trends

In terms of functional roles, Hospitality & Travel jobs continued to witness significant demand in Oct 2023, with a staggering YoY growth of 169% driven by international tourism. This economic recovery created an online demand for other job roles, such as Sales & Business Development (44%) and Marketing & Communications (12%) as well. A few of the other job roles that have showcased a robust YoY growth rate include Engineering/ Production, Real Estate (+10%), HR & Admin (+7%), Purchase/ Logistics/ Supply Chain (+6%) and Software, Hardware & Telecom (+5%)

The roles in Customer Service (-24%) were the sole function to exhibit a negative growth trend despite having a 19% increase over the last month. Several reasons can be attributed to this, including the advancements in technology that have led to the implementation of automated customer service systems such as chatbots and self-service portals. There have also been instances during challenging economic times where businesses need to prioritise cost-cutting measures, resulting in a decrease in hiring across various job roles, including customer service.

The foundit Insights Tracker is a comprehensive monthly analysis of online job posting activity conducted by foundit. Based on a real-time review of millions of employer job opportunities culled from a large, representative selection of online career outlets, the foundit Insights Tracker (FIT) presents a snapshot of employer online recruitment activity nationwide.

Period for the report

The period considered for the foundit Insights Tracker (fit) data is Oct 2022 Vs Oct 2023.

Southeast Asia a Bright Spot in the Global Flexible Office Market in 2023 with TEC Centres in the Region Exhibiting Average Occupancy Rates of Over 90%

SINGAPORE, Nov 27, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The Executive Centre (“TEC”), the leading premium flexible workspace provider that serves more than 47,000 Members in 33 cities across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, has seen exceptional growth in Southeast Asia in 2023, with the momentum expected to carry on into 2024.

Led by client demand, TEC has added four new centres in Singapore, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City and Manila this year, with the latest addition in Manila on the 8th floor of Ayala Triangle Gardens Tower 2 which opened last month.

These new openings are backed by consistently high demand and occupancy rates of over 90% across multiple markets in the region in 2023. As of September 2023, TEC’s centres in Singapore and Manila are leading its portfolio at 95% and 98% occupancy rates, followed not far behind by Ho Chi Minh City at 91% and Jakarta at 81%. With these new expansions, TEC has added almost 1,200 workstations across these four key Southeast Asian markets in 2023, representing a 33% increase in workstation growth.

In Singapore, demand for office space is growing as multinational companies seek to relocate to the city-state and set up headquarters there to take advantage of Singapore’s status as a gateway city and key business hub. These include firms from the financial industry such as asset managers, private wealth managers, private equity firms and family offices, as well as technology startups from across the region that are seeking to move to more flexible workspaces which will allow them to downsize or upsize nimbly.

Office demand is also bolstered by the increasing “back-to-office” momentum in Singapore, as employers tighten hybrid working policies, with CBRE’s 2023 Singapore Office Occupier Sentiment Survey finding that 64% of companies are focused on increasing office attendance or improving work efficiency.

Despite the “back-to-office” trend, the way tenants use office spaces has irrevocably changed since pre-Covid days, as companies place greater emphasis on having access to a combination of purpose-built spaces including private offices for focused work, flexible seating, collaborative meeting rooms, and event spaces.

In response to this increased demand for flexible seating, meeting and event spaces, TEC will be opening a new centre from the 45th to 47th floors at Singapore Land Tower in January 2024.

Yvonne Lim, Managing Director of Southeast Asia at The Executive Centre said, “We have done exceptionally well particularly in Singapore with a city average occupancy of 95% in 2023, at the same time, we are seeing robust demand for our upcoming new centre at Singapore Land Tower on Levels 45 to 47. TEC’s expansions are largely driven by client’s requirement and the inter-city network within SEA continue to look strong with clients having multiple presence with TEC SEA network.”

foundit Insights Tracker: Malaysia and Philippines Thrive with 63% and 45% Retail Growth, Singapore Steadies Ahead

SINGAPORE, Oct 5, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – foundit (formerly Monster APAC & ME), a leading talent platform, has unveiled the foundit Insights Tracker (fit) report for August 2023, offering comprehensive insights into hiring trends across Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines. This in-depth analysis sheds light on the evolving employment landscapes in these dynamic Asian economies.

The tracker reveals several intriguing trends in the comparative analysis of job markets in Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines. Malaysia demonstrates a relatively consistent job demand over the past three months, signifying a stable market. Job opportunities in Malaysia have shown a positive resurgence with 1% month-over-month (MoM) growth and a robust 7% year-over-year (YoY) growth across various industries. In contrast, Singapore faces challenges with a -1% MoM and a significant -14% YoY decline in hiring demand. This adjustment aligns with a moderated economic growth curve, signalling signs of vulnerability in the job market and a reduced pace of hiring. The Tracker data also reveals a 4% decrease in job demand over the last three months. Similarly, the Philippines has witnessed volatility in its job market, with a 5% decrease in job demand over the same three-month period and negative 9% YoY trends. Despite this decline, the MoM uptick by 3% suggests a reviving job market, hinting at the potential for recovery in the near future.

Commenting on these findings, Sekhar Garisa, CEO of foundit, said, “Skill enhancement is crucial to navigating the ever-changing job market in this digital age successfully, and it is imperative that we remain flexible and well-prepared to embrace these changes. Malaysia is currently experiencing a favourable hiring environment, but there is an increasing demand for new skills across various sectors. On the other hand, Singapore has a moderated economic outlook, which provides a valuable opportunity for job seekers to enhance their skills and plan for the futureproactively. Meanwhile, the Philippines exhibits a recovering job market, underscoring the continuous need for learning and growth in alignment with changing hiring trends. Across these three diverse markets, the constant remains re-skilling and upskilling. The common thread connects job seekers and employers on their journey to success and progress in this rapidly evolving landscape.”

Malaysia demonstrated resilience with consistent job demand and notable growth in various sectors.

Malaysia experienced an extraordinary YoY growth of 88% in the hospitality sector. This growth can be attributed to strategic government initiatives, including substantial investments in overseas promotions and digital content on international television channels. In contrast, Singapore and the Philippines reported more modest figures of 8% and 0%, respectively.

The Retail sector witnessed remarkable growth in Malaysia (63%) and the Philippines (45%), with the latter also experiencing a robust double-digit month-on-month increase. Luxury e-commerce and the expansion of retail outlets contributed to this surge. In Singapore, the retail sector reported a -2% decline for August 2023. However, an optimistic outlook prevails for the upcoming quarter in Singapore’s retail industry.

The Logistics sector saw increased demand in Malaysia (25%) due to significant e-commerce growth. Conversely, Singapore (-4%) and the Philippines (-35%) faced challenges in this sector.

In the technology domain, notable declines were observed in IT, Telecom/ISP, and BPO/ITES in all three regions. The unpredictable global landscape impacted these sectors, with the Philippines showcasing a unique pattern of IT, Telecom (-22%) and BPO/ITES (0%).

Tech Sector Thrives: Malaysia’s 3% YoY Growth in Software, Hardware, and Telecom Roles

In Malaysia, the tech sector demonstrates commendable resilience, with Software, Hardware, and Telecom roles experiencing a 3% YoY growth. This growth reflects the ongoing digitisation efforts across industries, demanding professionals with technology expertise to drive innovation and efficiency. Sales & Business Development roles also recorded an impressive 34% YoY growth, signifying a proactive approach by businesses to expand their market presence and seize emerging opportunities.

Conversely, Malaysia’s Customer Service sector faced significant challenges, witnessing a substantial -44% YoY decline due to evolving dynamics and automation’s increasing role. In contrast, the Philippines experiences growth in the Customer Service domain, recording a 6% YoY trend, in line with its position as a hub for customer service outsourcing activities within the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sector. Singapore and the Philippines share a -18% and -23% YoY contraction in Marketing & Communications roles, possibly reflecting adjustments in marketing strategies amidst evolving market dynamics.

Regarding hospitality and travel roles, Malaysia sees a remarkable surge of 133% YoY growth. In contrast, Singapore and the Philippines report more conservative figures of 8% and 0% YoY growth for the same roles, respectively. Purchase/ Logistics/ Supply Chain professionals face diverse challenges, with Malaysia showing a slight 2% YoY increase, while Singapore (-9%) and the Philippines (-24%) report declines.

Seven Stars unlock their extraordinary ability to earn a US Green Card in 6-months of 2023

Phoenix, Arizona, Sept 25, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Amongst the hardships caused by the Green Card backlog, especially for Indians in the USA who are highly specialized professionals amongst millions of aspiring immigrants, seven-star students have successfully fulfilled their US dream with the Next League Program. The Next League Program is a holistic approach to obtaining the EB1A Green Card, accentuating personal growth and development, self-discovery, and unlocking the actual extraordinary ability of an individual.

The United States has since long practiced and made efforts by offering opportunities and preferential treatment to highly talented immigrants across Arts, Business, Education, and Sciences. Vivek B Ramu, competent in Software Performance Testing in Connecticut, expressed his journey, “EB1A seemed daunting until I joined the Next League Program. Principal Coach Ranjeet’s structured approach has boosted my confidence, and I’m now on track to achieve my EB1A goals.”

Over the years, these preferences have enabled gifted individuals, including Nobel Laureates, Business Professionals, World Class Athletes, and Renowned Artists, to immigrate to the US and live in the United States. Siddharth Sharma, a Leader in HR Digital Solutions, USA reflected on his experience, “After researching EB1A, I found the Next League Program. Ranjeet’s clarity and mentorship have been transformative, making this one of my best decisions.”

Rathnakumar Udayakumar, a Data Professional from California, USA, remarked on the program’s impact: “Joining the program opened my eyes to the importance of personal growth in the EB1A process. Ranjeet’s transformative guidance changed my perspective on the program and myself.”

Principal Coach and CEO of Next League Executive Board LLC, Ranjeet S Mudholkar (also an EB1A recipient in 2017) said, “The Next League Program is designed for highly competent professionals who can obtain their EB1A Green Card without sponsorship, lottery, or a million-dollar investment. I am delighted to coach, mentor, and guide skilled professionals to sharpen their saws to establish their thought leadership in the category. To support the Einstein-category intellects, the Next League Board LLC aims to nurture admission of global super-talent into the US.”

The Next League Board LLC aims to contribute to the US by facilitating the best global talent to its shores. Sushil Vellanki, proficient in Geospatial Engineering and Logistics, USA, highlighted the program’s benefits, “Discovering the EB1A category was a revelation. Ranjeet and the Next League Program have provided the guidance I needed to bridge the gaps in my profile and prepare for EB1A.”

Jayendran Gopalsami, a Supply Chain Management Expert in North Carolina, USA, supports the program’s methodology, stating, “What sets Next League apart is its holistic approach. It’s not just about EB1A; it’s about personal growth. The program’s curated content and coaching have accelerated my journey.”

A Digital Transformation Expert from a Global Consulting Firm in the USA shared, “Ranjeet demystified the EB1A process for me, emphasizing its essence over mere formalities. He clarified what the US seeks in immigrants and guided me through the logical steps of the application.”

Drawing on philosophical concepts of Absurdism and the Socratic Method, the program encourages individuals to create meaning in their lives and question their assumptions, beliefs, and values. The Next League Program applies this concept by encouraging individuals to control their destinies and trust their abilities without compromising the overall impact. This mindset helps individuals become their best version, establishing their extraordinary skills.

The 6-month intense Coaching Program for students pursuing their American Dream to be a US Resident by applying for the EB1A Green Card, aka Einstein Visa, consists of three phases:

Phase I: Profile Enhancement

Phase II: Scaling Knowledge Base and becoming a thought leader in your respective domain

Phase III: Creating Outreach

The Next League Program is a remote program most suited for Subject Matter Experts or professionals between 24 and 50 years of age with progressive experience in their field. In addition to its philosophical foundations, the Next League Program provides practical tools and resources to aid in the EB1A Green Card process. With access to experienced immigration lawyers, a supportive community of like-minded individuals, and personalized coaching and guidance tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals.

The United States of America is united by grand and enduring ideals, aspiring to draw the world’s best and brightest talent to American shores. Folashade Orimogunje, a Data Science Expert from the Dept. of Health, USA, emphasized the program’s transformative nature: “Joining the Next League Program was a pivotal decision. It’s not just about immediate goals but setting one up for future endeavors. Ranjeet’s experience and guidance have been invaluable.”

The prestigious Extraordinary Ability (EB1A) Green Card category offers preferential treatment to outstanding individuals across various fields, including arts, business, education, and sciences.
