ESL/EFL Employment Opportunities
Upon completion of the TESOL Certificate Program, students choose to attend a graduate program or look for ESL/EFL employment at home or abroad. Many of them with little or no previous teaching experience decide to volunteer for a few semesters or tutor privately. The majority of the TCP alumni are able to find employment right after they obtain the TESOL Certificate.
According to a recent survey, TESOL Certificate Program alumni have been employed or volunteer at a wide range of organizations, such as:
- Community Impact at Columbia University
- New York City Library ESL programs
- Community colleges
- Literacy assistance centers
- Adult education centers
- Private language schools
- Kaplan Services
- International schools
- Various EFL programs abroad
