填写I-983 Training Plan 是完成STEM OPT申请的一重要部分,因为DSO会根据填写的I-983表提出建议,如果学生不清楚每一部分应该写什么以及如何写,DSO可能会要求学生修改,而这又会导致处理时间延长。
所以,本文章将介绍如何撰写I-983 Training Plan并为STEM OPT申请人提供样本答案。如果你也正在撰写I-983 Training Plan,请阅读本文章来了解如何正确回答每个问题。
内容摘要
什么是I-983 Training Plan,在哪里可以取得?
美国联邦官方网站Study in the States说:”正式的 training plan 必须清楚地阐述STEM OPT学生的学习目标,并肯定雇主对帮助学生实现这些目标的承诺。”
同一网页上有I-983 Training Plan文件的链接。请注意,目前版本说目前I-983表的到期日是2025年5月31日,请查看Study in the States网页或在谷歌上搜索该表格,以找到I-983表的最新版本。
2023年3月更新:FormI-983到期日(expiration date)更新为2025年5月31日。 最新的Form I-983可以点击这里下载。
第1页;如何填写第1和第2部分
I-983表的第一页是关于学生信息,这是我发现学生最容易填错的地方。下面的图可以让你大致了解如何填写第1部分,我会在下一段进一步解释。
在第1部分输入的信息,包括学生姓名、学校名称、SEVIS学校代码、学生SEVID ID和CIP代码,应与你的I-20表格相符合。请参考以下学生最常犯错的地方:
- STEM OPT要求的期限:STEM OPT项目 “延长 “了你的OPT期限。因此,”FROM “日期应该是你OPT结束日期的隔天。使用日期计算器,从FROM日期加上24个月来计算TO日期。
- 依据之前的学位:如果你是依据你最近获得的学位来申请STEM OPT计划,请勾选 “否”。I-983说明说:”如果你参与STEM OPT是依据之前获得的STEM学位,并且不是你目前完成后的OPT所依据的同一学位,请勾选’是’。”
第2部分没有什么特别难回答的地方,但是请注意,STEM OPT申请人应打印出表格,并用笔签名,电子签名将不被允许。
第2页;如何填写第3和第4部分
I-983表格第2页的第3和第4部分是关于雇主的信息。因此,学生必须与他们的主管、人力资源代表等联系,以获得需要输入填写的信息,或者他们可以直接让他们的雇主来完成这些部分。
第3页;I-983 Training Plan 样本答案
在这一页需说明你的工作将如何加深你在学习期间获得的知识或技能。在接下来的段落中,你将了解到表格所要求的东西是什么,以及如何填写每个部分。STEM OPT申请人可以简单地切换”[ ]”部分来定制他们的答案。
学生角色
该表格说:”描述学生在雇主那里的角色,以及该角色如何与提高学生通过其合格的STEM学位所获得的知识有直接关联。”
当DSO在SEVIS中为学生推荐STEM OPT时,他们需要写出学生的职位名称,但是I-983表格并不要求学生的职位名称,所以,在第一部分包括学生的职位名称是一个好方法。举例来说,请看下面的第一个答案样本。
- The student is working as [position title] and responsible for [projects and tasks]. The student is required to utilize the knowledge and skills that are obtained from her [degree program or list courses that students had taken] to perform her position.
- The students majored in [degree program] where he/she studied [related knowledge or skills]. By working as a [position title] at [employer name], the student will enhance his knowledge and skills.
- The everyday tasks will deepen his/her knowledge in [degree program/ related skills] to attain a high level of both theoretical and practical understanding of his/her major.
- The student will be working as a [position title] and the responsibilities are [examples of responsibilities]. This every exposure to the responsibilities will train the student to attain a higher level of understanding of his/her [degree program].
- The student is working as [position title] at [employer]. While working in this position, the student is able to apply his/her academic knowledge in [degree program[ and obtain experience in the field of [field].
目标和目的
该表格说:”描述在雇主那里的工作将如何帮助学生实现他或她的STEM学位相关工作学习的具体目标。该描述必须说明学生在具体知识、技能或技巧方面的目标,以及实现这些目标的方法”。
你可以使用以下句子来说明你的目标和目的:
- The student will learn [goals regarding specific knowledge, skills, or techniques]. By doing [projects and tasks-how can the goals be achieved?], the student can learn [goals] as well.
- The student’s specific objective at [the employer] is to enhance his/her [knowledge/skills] that he learned at [the university name].
- Working at [the employer] has helped him to obtain/be/deepen [goals].
- The student’s goal is to enhance his/her knowledge and gain professional experience in learning the tools and techniques used in [knowledge/ skills]. The projects will get his/her hands-on experience with [examples of works].
- The main goal of this training and work assignment is to provide the student with theoretical and practical hands-on experience in [field] using [knowledge/skills].
- The student will acquire this knowledge and skills set through [examples of tasks and projects].
雇主的监督
该表格说:”请解释雇主如何对提供该F-1学生所担任职位的监督和监管。如果雇主有一个培训计划或相关政策来控管这种监督和监管,请描述。“
你可以用以下的表达方式来撰写关于监督和监察。
- The student will be instructed on [how] by [who].
- The student is provided with [trained/certified personnel/ online instruction] to perform the job.
- I will be the supervisor for the student and provide [instructions].
- The student will receive on-the-job training for knowledge in [tasks/ goals].
- The student is required to receive continuing internal training, attend online classes, and seminars as part of the learning process.
- The student works under the supervisor of the [supervisor title].
- [The employer] requires continuing training that is evaluated as part of the employer’s work performance. This includes [examples of the training].
- The student works under the supervision of and trained by the [supervisor] at [employer]. Training oversight will be provided as necessary by the division supervisor. In addition, the student is required to successfully complete internal training courses, tutorials, and training plans as they apply to this work responsibilities and training goals.
- The student will be given assignments that are closely monitored by [whom].
- The student will be working with his/her supervisor. The student will take part in regular weekly meetings which touch upon [related tasks].
- The student will report his/her [tasks] to her supervisor regularly.
措施和评估
表格中说:”请解释雇主如何衡量和确认委任该F-1学生职位的个人是否获得了新的知识和技能。如果雇主有一个培训计划或相关政策来控管这种监督和监管,请描述”。
学生可以通过以下句子来更好地解释措施和评估:
- Employer will provide/designate [position title] to teach, train and verify performance associated with [the task].
- The student will submit a [weekly/monthly/annual] review to evaluate the student’s skill, knowledge, and ability to perform the position.
- The student’s performance will be reviewed [weekly/monthly/annually] and guidance and adjustments will be made to ensure the student meets the goal.
- The [supervisor] will monitor the [project/task] to determine if the student is meeting the performance standards in the role of [the position title].
- The student’s performance is reviewed by [HR/supervisor/department] every [how often you will be reviewed] to see if his/her training goal is met.
- The student will participate in regularly scheduled performance evaluations conducted by his/her supervisor. The student will also be assessed to ensure that [knowledge, skills, and techniques] meet the goals.
- The supervisor monitors specific work assignments to determine if the student is meeting company performance standards and the work is compliant with applicable regulatory requirements.
- The student is subjected to periodic reviews and evaluations to ensure that the student possesses the necessary [knowledge and skills].
第4页和第5页
如果你已经完成至表格第3页,现在是时候让你的主管在第4页签字并注明日期了。I-983说明说:”签署本证明(第6部分)的人不需要,但可以是签署第4部分雇主证明的同一个人。”
就第5页而言,在申请STEM OPT时,你并不需要填写。欲了解更多关于如何填写第5页和STEM OPT报告要求,请点击以下文章。
