you might want to clarify exactly what you're after.
Do you want people who are employed directly by Aramco (i.e. Aramcons) or people contracted to Aramco by other employers or either?
Do you want people who work in a particular Aramco training centre or even a particular department within a particular centre? Things can vary quite a bit. |

Plus, a search within this forum will yield umpteen threads on Aramco---some are fairly recent. |

I suspect that most ARAMCO teachers wouldn't even use this forum. They're nestled in their cozy, cushy, little insignificant jobs with their PhDs. and Masters. Why bother with the hired help here on Daves!

Saudi Arabia is considering expanding in its renewable energy resources. The country has a lot of energy that comes from sources that are continuously replaced. Sunlight, wind, and waves in the sea are free and never finish. However, oil and natural gas have limits and will finish one day. So, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has made plans to invest money into renewable resources. |

Thank you for your input, one and all. As of yet, no Aramco contacts. My questions concern the teaching itself � what goes on (or should be going on) in the classroom. So talking with an ESL instructor there, direct hire or otherwise, would be helpful. Still waiting, alas. |

you were still waiting, alas, because you didn't answer my questions. Now that you have done, I'm sure someone will be in touch. |

Why so much interest in Aramco English teachers? I've known a few....both direct hires and contractors. One such contracted EFL teacher gave up and left for better pastures elsewhere. Even though he was offered a position as a direct hire with Aramco, the contractor company wouldn't release him.
I wish the money wasn't that great for Aramco English teachers b/c it would't attract so much attention. The money is nice but I would be happy to earn average for the region and have the stable, comfy life in the compound.
If the OP has specific Qs, I can ask my friends.

Well I contacted the OP in a PM and have not had a reply for two weeks. I guess they aren't that desperate! |
