Empowering Educators Worldwide: ISS's New Initiative
In an unprecedented move to assist educators, the global nonprofit International Schools Services (ISS) has announced a remarkable initiative to support teachers seeking employment. From now until February 15, 2025, educators can apply for nearly 1,000 job openings at international schools without incurring the usual $75 annual candidate membership fee. This initiative aims to provide significant career opportunities across more than 50 countries, encompassing a wide range of teaching positions including elementary, middle, and high school roles, as well as specialized positions in counseling, technology, fine arts, and foreign languages.
According to Liz Duffy, President of ISS, this initiative demonstrates the organization's commitment to creating opportunities for both educators and schools during these uncertain times. The ISS EDUrecruit® database, which hosts these job postings, seeks to connect qualified teachers with schools that are actively hiring for the upcoming 2025-2026 academic year. ISS aims to leverage its expertise to facilitate hiring schools in finding the best candidates available.
With increasing demand for educators, there has been a reported 10% increase in student enrollment within the last five years. This trend has resulted in a significant need for qualified teachers, with over 700,000 educators currently employed in international schools worldwide. The initiative comes at a time when schools are gearing up for their hiring cycles, making it an advantageous time for educators to explore new opportunities.
Many international schools offer attractive benefits packages, including competitive salaries, housing allowances, and tuition remission for teachers' children, making this a lucrative time for educators considering a move abroad. Notably, schools are particularly interested in educators with experience in International Baccalaureate (IB), Advanced Placement (AP), Common Core, AERO, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and IGCSE/GCSE curricula.
This offer to apply without the ISS EDUrecruit® subscription is a groundbreaking step for ISS and represents a vital link between aspiring educators and reputable international schools. However, it’s important to note that candidates must meet certain eligibility requirements to apply for these positions, and the offer doesn't encompass all the premium features available in the usual membership.
International Schools Services has established itself as a leading recruitment organization in the field of international education since its inception in 1955. With its extensive network of over 1,200 K-12 schools, ISS serves tens of thousands of educators each year, contributing to its status as a significant player in global education support.
