Shanghai

1. WELCOME

This is our late-season job fair which is focused on schools in the greater China region, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. About 1/3 of all the vacancies in the world that are posted on our database are in the greater China region. Because the attending schools are from these fast-growing international education markets, we usually have more job vacancies than candidates attending and those who attend will have a high probability of getting multiple interviews and/or job offers. This fair also provides networking opportunities and is thus an excellent place to do in-depth research and meet the recruiters from the top-quality international schools in these regions.

The Fair is committed to DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) and welcomes candidates from diverse backgrounds.

The schools recruiting at the Shanghai Fair are not only resource-rich, but also often at the cutting-edge of innovation in international education in the 21st century. These schools are interested in candidates who are not only high in quality, but also open-minded, flexible and enthusiastic about cross-cultural collaboration to enrich teaching and learning. As demand is high, aspiring candidates often find themselves with many career growth opportunities within 1-3 years of working in these fast-growing schools. 

2. INVITATION

The Fair opens its books for school and candidate registrations a few months before the fair.  As we were full last year and expect the same next year, we ask schools and candidates to register as early as possible to reserve a place.
