When you teach English abroad, not only are you working and therefore paying your own way, but also because your job is important to the community, you have a unique opportunity to become integrated into the culture like no traditional student ever could. You won’t just study and read about the culture, you will live it through experiencing the food, art, music, politics and day-to-day life of the place you choose to teach in. You will meet fascinating people, gain second language skills and develop valuable teaching tools that you can use for the rest of your life. When you return to school, you will see the world through new eyes.
Taking a gap year away from university to work and travel abroad is a wise investment in yourself and your future. Great universities and employers know that working abroad provides leadership skills in a world that is increasingly globally interconnected. Today’s businesses are seeking those who are independent, culturally savvy and well rounded. Many of your classmates will take a gap year to study or backpack abroad, but living and working in a foreign country proves that you are confident enough to take substantial risks, that you are serious about your future and open to challenging new experiences. Employers will recognize that you are skilled in working with people from different backgrounds, familiar with another language and full of unique ideas that come from a global perspective.
When you decide to take the four-week certification program at ITTO, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
