Schools & J-1 Visa Sponsors 
Your Trusted Pipeline for International Teachers
       Ethically Referred. Professionally Prepared. Classroom-Ready.

TeachCare Staffing is a U.S.-based referral and training consultancy committed to strengthening international teacher pipelines through ethical, sponsor-aligned practices.

​

We Support:

• K–12 Public, Charter, and Private Schools exploring compliant ways to host international teachers through the J-1 Teacher Exchange Program

• U.S. Department of State–designated J-1 Visa Sponsors seeking instructionally prepared, culturally adaptable, and pre-vetted educators

​

What We Do Not Do:

• Recruit, hire, or deploy teachers

• Process visas or function as a J-1 sponsor

• Charge placement or referral fees to teachers

​

All legal hiring and immigration activities are handled solely by the designated J-1 visa sponsor. Our role is to ethically refer qualified, prepared teachers to those sponsors and help U.S. schools explore hosting in full alignment with program guidelines.
