A meeting was held between representatives from UTEACH and Universitat de Valencia in May 2015 to discuss UTEACH's teacher recruitment and placement services. UTEACH places overseas teachers, such as those from Spain, in teaching jobs in England. They provide preparation, training, support and career development assistance. UTEACH outlined the benefits they provide to teachers, including help obtaining qualifications, language training, a training academy, ongoing support, professional development opportunities, cultural experiences, and competitive salaries. Representatives from UTEACH encouraged interested Spanish teachers to submit their resumes to begin the application process.
