EURES UK are hosting a British Council webinar on Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) on Monday 30th January at 2pm-3pm. The session is free to take part in; all you need is to be connected to the internet to tune in. TEFL is a popular route for graduates interested in travel, gaining teaching experience, and expanding their skill base, and the British Council is very active in promoting the option to graduates.
The British Council speaker is from Dubai, and represents recruitment for the Middle East and Africa specifically. She will talk through the recruitment process for the TEFL courses and opportunities generally available through EURES UK. The session will include advice and information on:
- What options are available to teach abroad?
- What qualifications are required?
- Can I get a job without a qualification?
- How do I get a job in TEFL?
- What to know before you go
- Vacancy sites and other resources
- Success stories
There will also be an opportunity to ask the team questions through the online forum.
To take part in this free event please confirm your interest by emailing Lorraine Morris at lorraine.morris1@dwp.gsi.gov.uk as soon as possible.
If you have any questions about the webinar please do not hesitate to contact me.
