Global Nonprofit Rolls Out New Initiative to Help Teachers

PRINCETON, NJ, USA (January 8, 2025) – Global nonprofit, International Schools Services (ISS), has offered educators access to apply to any job listed in their ISS EDUrecruit^® database, without the $75 annual candidate membership fee through February 15, 2025. The database lists nearly 1,000 job postings at international schools in more than 50 countries, such as Elementary, Middle, and High School teaching positions, Counseling, Library and Media Specialists, Technology Specialists, Fine Arts, Performing Arts, Learning Support, and Foreign Language teachers. Educators with IB, AP, AERO, Common Core, NGSS, and IGCSE/GCSE experience are especially sought by schools.

Liz Duffy, ISS President stated, “As ISS is one of the leading recruitment organizations in international education, we wanted to use our unique strength in the sector to help educators and hiring schools. We recognize it is a time of uncertainty for many; this access aims to open enormous career opportunities for educators, whether they have 2 or 20 years of experience. It’s a win-win for educators and for high-quality schools seeking qualified teachers.”

According to ISC Research, there has been a 10% increase in student enrollment over the last five years due to demand; currently international schools employ 700,000+ educators worldwide. As part of its ISS EDUrecruit^® service, ISS works with hundreds of schools to help them hire educators from around the world using searchable professional portfolios in the database, virtual and in-person job fairs, and a myriad of other benefits.

“One surprising fact for US-based candidates is that international schools recruit quite early. Now is actually the time schools are hiring for the 2025-2026 school year,” says Duffy. “Full benefits packages can also be financially advantageous for educators and their families, as many international schools offer competitive salaries, housing allowances, tuition remission for children, and generous professional development.”

The offer to apply to these jobs without an ISS EDUrecruit^® subscription is the first of its kind and available only through February 15, 2025. It does not include complete ISS EDUrecruit^® premium candidate membership benefits, and candidates must meet eligibility requirements to apply to schools.
