Online recruitment fair
Leading British international schools in Asia hold their first virtual recruitment fair.
John Gwyn Jones, FOBISIA CEO, looks forward to a new online recruiting event being attended by over 60 British International Schools in Asia on November 30th.
Why an online fair?
In response to the growing challenges of recruiting qualified teachers for overseas positions, FOBISIA (The Federation of British International Schools in Asia) is launching its inaugural Virtual Recruitment Fair on the 30th November. This event is designed to attract talented teachers from across the globe, with a particular focus on teachers from the UK, to join the world-class British International schools that make up the FOBISIA network. The move to a virtual format offers numerous benefits to both applicants and schools.
Connecting teachers with schools
For educators, it provides easy, direct access to international teaching opportunities without the need to travel. Candidates can connect with multiple schools from different countries across Asia in one place, facilitating easy interactions and a more efficient recruitment process – we have around 60 premier schools in attendance! Teachers also gain insights into the rich cultural experiences, professional development and adventure that await them in some of the most exciting locations in the world by visiting the schools’ virtual booths.
For schools, the virtual recruitment fair eliminates many of the logistical and financial burdens associated with traditional recruitment events. School leaders can meet and interview a broader range of candidates from various locations, expanding their talent pool. Additionally, the flexibility of the online format allows schools to engage with potential hires in real-time, across different time zones, and makes it easier to find the right candidates for their specific needs.
FOBISIA schools
FOBISIA’s member schools are known for offering excellent resources and facilities, competitive benefits, and a supportive environment for professional growth. Combined with the chance to live in dynamic, culturally rich locations, the FOBISIA recruitment fair aims to highlight the unique advantages of teaching in Asia.
Whether you’re a seasoned or a newly qualified teacher seeking an adventure, this recruitment fair opens the door to a fulfilling career with FOBISIA. Schools are looking for passionate, adaptable individuals eager to shape the minds of tomorrow in vibrant, innovative and diverse settings.
We are delighted to be working with Eteach to set up this opportunity. We liked the way they want to make it easier for UK educators to connect with schools globally and we share their enthusiasm for the way in which International teaching offers such incredible career opportunities championing blended career paths to keep educators inspired and thriving. When choosing our partner for the event, we knew that Eteach would provide one of the industry’s leading platforms to deliver a secure and efficient recruitment experience for both schools and candidates. — simple, effective, and engaging.
So – why not join us at the FOBISIA Virtual Recruitment Fair—your gateway to an enriching teaching experience abroad? Register your place today.Â
If you are unable to attend this event we are organising a second Virtual Recruitment Fair on February 15, 2025.
