Professional Licensing Guides
Many immigrants who had careers as doctors, engineers, teachers, and other regulated professions in their home countries need information about how to earn a professional license to restart their careers in the U.S.
Upwardly Global has developed licensing guides that will help with the job-seeking process. Regulated professions are strictly controlled by state law to protect the public interest. Each state can have different criteria for licensing.
Licenses or credentials are normally earned through a combination of education, exams, and experience, and include documentation and sometimes a significant amount of time and money to receive.
Note: nurses, lawyers, and public accountants are regulated in the U.S.; business managers and university professors are not.
