> I think this claim is BS. I've worked in enterprises large and small for about 18 years and I've never seen any company invest in training H1Bs, specifically. If a company offers training (which most don't these days) it is offered to all employees. Not just H1Bs. < There have been many incidences where American employees had to train their H1B replacements. [1] There are many other ways this 'training' is implemented, When I say training, I mean the task of converting a less skilled employee into a higher skilled employee. One way of doing it is, a third party sponsors H1B, does the whole headache of hiring a foreign worker, and then they send those people to client location. The third party often exaggerates the experience of their employee, and most of the time there is a quick and fast training program in place (this training program is a proper training program). Many times these H1Bs are blatently lying about what they know or for how long they know, and most clients have a rough idea of how this works, they also know that these noobies are really under pressure to learn according to what they're claiming and that they are cheap. Consider it to be this way, imagine if you have a bunch of friends who currently work as a waiter, bus boy, chef, and dishwashers. You get them to join your company, you make them go through code academy style bootcamp, train them into knowing every crazy thing about Jenkins CI tool, and then send them to clients by claiming that you have a guy who is a Jenkins expert. Great business plan right? Maybe not, but this is exactly what Indian IT companies do, except the people they pick all have engineering degrees and decent Mathematical training in high school (otherwise they'd have never gone to Engineering school). > Most H1Bs are employed by the likes of consultancies (e.g. Tata, Wipro) and are brought into companies for terms of six months to two years (sometimes three) < The main job of Tata and Wipro is to train these people to be good enough so that they can work at a client location. If an employee fails, then they just send him to more training. 1. https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/02/disney-worker-breaks-down-when-describing-how-he-trained-his-foreign-guest-worker-replacement https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/02/disney...
