OPT Shield: The Core CCPS365 Program
OPT Shield helps colleges and universities extend visible support through the transition from graduation into Optional Practical Training. The program may include health coverage awareness and coordination with approved licensed partners, career-readiness support, employer or pathway connections where available and within the approved scope, structured student communication, and university-facing reporting.
What OPT Shield Coordinates
Coverage Awareness and Coordination
Health coverage awareness and coordination with approved licensed partners where available and authorized.
Career-Readiness Support
Structured support to help students prepare for the transition into Optional Practical Training.
Employer and Pathway Connections
Employer introductions or pathway connections where available, appropriate, and within the approved program scope.
University-Facing Reporting
Regular reporting and communication to help the institution maintain visibility during the OPT transition.
Why OPT Shield Matters
Universities invest heavily in recruiting and supporting international students, but that support often becomes fragmented at graduation. OPT Shield gives institutions a structured way to remain connected during the OPT transition while reinforcing their commitment to international student success.
