UNI does not charge placement fees. Many schools prefer to hire teachers with at least two years of relevant teaching experience. However, many international schools will hire new college graduates with the right qualifications. Many new teachers have also secured standard full-term contracts at our event. Over one-half of the new teachers participating in last year's UNI Fair secured employment.
Flexibility is key in the international education market.
We encourage all of our registrants to have at least two geographic areas they will consider. In a recent survey conducted by the UNI Overseas Placement Service, recruiters were asked what characteristics they looked for in an educator seeking to teach overseas. American international schools have made significant contributions in educating the people of the world, and opportunities to be a part of these contributions continue to increase. Educators who are interested in this market should research this diverse group of schools, keeping their visions broad, their expectations realistic, and their enthusiasm high.
