The Professional Development Initiative (PDI) provides Kuwaiti students on F-1 visas in the United States with a well-targeted, year-long Optional Practical Training (OPT) opportunity to work with a U.S. institution before returning home.
The PDI is administered by three program partners: the Embassy of the State of Kuwait (ESKU), the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS), and the National U.S.-Arab Chamber of Commerce (NUSACC). These PDI program partners will identify qualified American host companies to participate in this prestigious program; identify prospective PDI applicants, screen these applicants, and name the finalists in this highly competitive program. The PDI program partners will match up these finalists, based on degree, skills, and interests, with appropriate host companies in the United States.
