Wanted: Anglo olim to teach English
The Jerusalem Post - Aug. 24, 2009
In an effort to tackle the shortage of English teachers, the Jewish Agency,
together with the Education and Immigrant Absorption ministries, has opened
a new program to encourage North American and British aliya, with the aim of
training participants for jobs in the education system.
The English Teachers Project began two weeks ago with a group of 40 young
people who recently arrived in the country. The first phase is an intensive
ulpan.
The only prerequisite is that participants speak English as their mother
tongue and have a college degree. Many of those taking part did not study
education, and in October, will begin a 14-month training program, after
which they will receive teaching certificates from the Education Ministry.
The program offers all of the benefits every new oleh is entitled to -
including housing and a stipend to help with expenses - but also provides a
structured framework that assists the immigrants as they integrate into
society, work on their Hebrew skills and receive training, before
guaranteeing them a job in a school.
