Job Placement Service
Teaching Positions Soar as Borders Reopen in Asia
With the end of the pandemic finally on the horizon, and a lack of teachers on the ground, the need for native English-speaking teachers is on the rise. Popular teaching markets like Japan, Taiwan, and Vietnam recently reopened their borders, allowing foreign teachers back in, and joining South Korea and Thailand in a major push to hire English instructors for the summer and autumn 2022 intakes.
Boasting a strong network of established contacts at schools across the globe, the Job Placement Service has continued to place course graduates in desirable ESL teaching jobs over the past two years. As the demand for new English teachers currently outstrips supply, thousands of jobs are available every month, and Oxford Seminars graduates are highly sought after.

Our Job Placement Advisors, similar to our Course Instructors, bring their extensive global experience and knowledge to guide you to your best adventure.
I’ll admit right off the bat that I was wary and unsure of how to approach searching for jobs overseas, as the vast quantity of them was simply overwhelming. Thankfully, with the help of Oxford Seminars and its placement program, the whole process was really streamlined. My Job Placement Advisors did a lot of work on their end, and I was soon buried under an avalanche of phone and Skype interviews. - N.E., Vancouver, BC
