Southern Teachers Agency has begun to receive French vacancy listings from schools for the 2012-13 school year. These jobs range from teaching French to elementary students through AP French Literature and Language courses. Occasionally, the jobs will call for an ability to teach an additional foreign language as well. STA is the oldest teacher-placement service in America. We receive job listings from hundreds of PK-12 private schools around the South. Schools come to STA because they recognize the value of STA's help in recruiting & screening talented candidates. Certification is not required by private schools for many French jobs.

According to a recent Bloomberg Survey, French is the second most useful language to be successful in business. Foreign languages were ranked according to the number of speakers, number of countries where it is the official language, along with the population of those countries, financial power, educational and literacy rates, and related measures. Second only to Chinese, French is spoken by 68 million people and is the official language of 27 countries. This means that a major or minor in French would be a perfect accompaniment to an Economics major for those students seeking an edge over the competition for increasingly scarce jobs in business.
