• USA (The STEM-OPT Play): We exclusively target degrees classified under the STEM Designated Degree Program list. This grants you 3 Years of guaranteed work authorization (12 months Standard OPT + 24 months Extension) in the $600B US sports market. You enter not as a student, but as a technical asset in Sports Analytics.

• UK (The Shortage List Play): We align curriculums with the UK Skilled Worker Visa codes. For example, a Biomechanics degree maps to "Biological Scientists and Biochemists" (Code 2112), a role often on the Shortage Occupation List, bypassing general hiring caps.

• Australia (The Skills Matrix Play): We target the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). Degrees in Sports Physiotherapy and Construction Management (Stadiums) offer a direct pathway to the Subclass 485 (Post-Study Work) visa, allowing up to 4 years of residency to secure a foothold in the 2032 Brisbane Olympic ecosystem.

• The Role: The new NCSECB statutes prioritize foreign-trained specialists for the "Professional Cadre" within the Sports Authority of India (SAI).

• The Salary: A UK-trained "High Performance Manager" commands a starting salary of ₹12-18 Lakhs in the Indian private leagues (IPL, ISL, Prime Volleyball), compared to ₹4 Lakhs for a domestic BP.Ed graduate.
