KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu
We have opportunities for well-qualified, committed and experienced lecturers and instructors of English as a foreign language who enjoy teaching in a structured program which is continually evolving and to which they are encouraged to contribute ideas and materials. Staff is hired at any time of the year.
Jubail Industrial College (JIC), originally founded in 1979, is one of two English-medium vocational training colleges in Saudi Arabia and the most prestigious of its kind in the country. The English Language Center is responsible for teaching a university-based intensive course in English for academic purposes of 30 hours per week to 2000 male preparatory-year students, thus preparing them to take courses leading to technical and business diplomas. It also offers specialized courses at a higher level. There are currently over 75 members of staff of diverse nationalities, including American, Australian, British, Canadian, Irish, South African, and New Zealand with a wide range of teaching experience.
Jubail Industrial College is run by the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu. As an academic institution, JIC teaches on the semester system (Fall and Spring). Each semester extends over 16-18 weeks (15 of regular classes and the rest for final exams). Holidays are determined between semesters, following a national calendar for all schools in the country. At times there may be some courses offered in a summer semester of 8 weeks. Instructors who wish to teach in the summer are paid for extra time and given up to 3 weeks vacation before the start of the next semester.

Environment: Jubail is an attractive place to live.

There is a well equipped sports-center very near the college as well as a range of shopping facilities. An hour's drive away is the town of Khobar , which has an array of shops and restaurants of world-class standard, whilst excellent library facilities are available at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Dhahran. A visit to Bahrain , easily accessible by the King Fahd Causeway, also makes for a pleasant and refreshing weekend. Bahrain is, perhaps, most famous for its Jewellery Souq but also has good hotels, cinemas, interesting museums and important archaeological sites, relating to the ancient civilization of Dilmun.
