Connecting Cultures Through Teaching Excellence
Global Teaching Partners is an official J-1 visa sponsor facilitating the recruitment, placement, and comprehensive support of international educators.
Supporting Global Educators at Every Step of Their Journey
As an officially authorized U.S. Department of State J-1 Exchange Visitor Program Sponsor, we provide more than just visa sponsorship. From your initial application through your entire teaching experience in the United States, our dedicated team ensures you have the resources, guidance, and community support needed to thrive both professionally and personally in your new role.
Empowering Educators and Enriching Communities
We recruit, vet, and support credentialed international educators seeking to gain U.S. teaching experience through J-1 visas.
Partner schools gain access to highly qualified educators who bring global perspectives and inspire students to become citizens.
Through interaction with Global Educators, K-12 students develop cultural awareness, respect for diversity, and empathy.
Why Global Teaching Partners Stands Apart in Teacher Exchange
Since receiving our official BridgeUSA designation in September 2016, we've built an unparalleled support infrastructure. Unlike other J-1 sponsors, we strategically place educators near our Research Triangle Park headquarters, enabling consistent in-person support through our Global Champions, Educator Success Coaches, and Transitional Advisors.
