Teach in China
Opportunities for Graduates
Are you looking for a rewarding job that will give you the international experience so sought after in today's job market? Consider a position teaching in a secondary school or college in China. This placement program is now open to graduates of Iowa colleges and ANAC member institutions. Our intensive two-week training program (one week on Drake's campus and one week in China) will give you the skills you need to succeed, including techniques of teaching English as second language, Chinese language instruction, and an orientation to Chinese culture. At its current pace of growth, China will soon become the second largest economy in the world, and first hand knowledge of this amazing country is a great boon to any recent graduate.
For the 2008-2009 academic year, 26 recent graduates will be teaching English at Drake University's ten (10) partner institutions.
