Placement Specialist

EPI’s Placement Specialists assess international teachers eligibility for the program with screening interviews. Once approved, Placement Specialists connect international teachers with school districts in the US to facilitate job placement.

Placement Specialists also assist teachers once they are in the U.S. through the onboarding process, as they plan for their move to the United States. They monitor key points in the teacher’s onboarding process and provide suggestions and feedback. Placement Specialists continue to communicate with and monitor the progress of teachers after arrival in their new community via telephone, text messaging, and email.
