Taiwan Teacher Placement & Retention Service (Specialized Staffing Cooperative)

A licensed teacher staffing cooperative that contracts directly with school principals to fill vacant positions using a curated network of semi-retired teachers, career-switchers, and credential-holders seeking flexible or part-time work. The cooperative handles vetting, contract negotiation, payroll administration, and retention support—removing the bureaucratic friction between schools and the education ministry. Schools pay per placement or per-teacher-month; the cooperative takes a margin and reinvests in teacher retention programs (mentorship, professional development subsidies).

Original Problem

Taiwan schools cannot find qualified teachers to fill vacant positions

School principals in Taiwan are unable to hire teachers due to systemic staffing shortages, with the education ministry deflecting responsibility to local county governments. Schools struggle to fill teaching positions because of insufficient teacher supply, competitive salary disadvantages compared to other sectors, and unclear accountability between central and local education authorities, leaving classrooms understaffed and educational quality compromised.
