General Hiring Information

American Citizens: All elementary classroom teaching positions require fluency in German and a valid Minnesota teaching license.  Most middle school teaching positions require a valid Minnesota teaching license.

Teachers from German-Speaking Countries: Teachers from German-speaking countries can be employed at TCGIS through a variety of ways. To work directly with the school on possible employment, send a cover letter, resumé, copies of transcripts and two letters of reference to employment@tcgis.org. TCGIS has resources for assisting with work visas for qualified German-speaking teaching candidates. Some German teachers come to TCGIS through the STEP program of the Checkpoint Charlie Foundation in Berlin, Germany. Please access their application material at www.cc-stiftung.de. Other teachers may find a position at www.auslandschulwesen.de or https://www.lehrer-weltweit.de/jobs

J1-Teacher Visa Requirements

We collaborate closely with CICD - the Center for International Career Development on obtaining the required J-1 Visa for a teaching internship in the US.  For more questions,  please contact the Intern Coordinator Katharina Schirg.
