Our Program
The Program
Phase 1: Recruitment & Training
We recruit cohorts of teachers from Latin American countries and provide training prior to their placement.
Phase 2: Visa Process and Transition
A J-1 Visa is processed and teachers are supported through their travel and transition to the U.S.
Phase 3: Continued Training and Placement
ITP provides a robust integration and training program to prepare teachers for life in the US and as an educator. Teachers are carefully matched with a host school through an in-depth interview and evaluation process.
Phase 4: Support and Evaluation
Once placed in a school, ITP continues to support success by helping teachers find safe, affordable housing, registering their children for school, finding doctors, connecting to a local bank, and other basic services as needed.
