Dear Friend,
If you are thinking of your next career move, please make sure that you are moving into a growing industry instead of a shrinking industry!

Here are some of the growing industries, especially in Asia.

Health and wellness
Education
Internet
Biotechnology
Nanotechnology
Leisure

Out of the whole list of growing industry, there is one NICHE that stands out from the rest. It is Teaching English!
You may think well, everyone can teach English. That's true. But not everyone is certified to teach English worldwide!
Here are some advantages of becoming an internationally certified English Teacher:

At Asian LifeSkills, we offer Certificate in TEFL from UK. The Cert in TEFL is recognized by Workforce Development Agency, Singapore and approved for Skills Development Funding. It is also recognized by NTUC Learning Hub, Singapore.

TESOL has equipped me tremendously. I've started teaching part time, 2x a week and I'm paid $40 per hour for total 90hrs Beginner module. I'm teaching workplace literacy and numeracy to adults who originated from China but they are now S'pore PR or citizen. My 1st class was enjoyable, fun and meaningful.
