Joshua Beaumont's Company Details

Interac teachers enrich the lives of hundreds of thousands of school children every year by delivering interactive and exciting English lessons. Commonly known as ALTs, which stands for assistant language teacher, Interac's teachers, working in the Japanese school system, enrich children's lives by sharing their knowledge of English and communication skills and giving insights into other cultures.Founded in 1972, Interac is Japan's largest private provider of professional foreign teachers to the Japanese government through its ALT program. Interac is also a significant player in providing professional teachers for commercial and government organizations.Interac is one of the largest non-government employers of foreign nationals in Japan. It employs nearly 3,000 staff in Japan across a network of 13 offices. Around 2,650 of these employees are non-Japanese.While education is the mainstay of Interac's business, in 2013, Interac launched a recruiting business under the new Interac Global Solutions (IGS) brand. IGS combines the established brand of Interac and its recruiting power to recruit foreign nationals into teaching positions outside the Interac Group.Interac started in September of 1972 in Tokyo's Shinjuku district, and over the years, the company grew as a provider of educational services to commercial organizations. In the mid-nineties, that field grew, and Interac started to provide ALTs and other education services to public Boards of Education and schools all over Japan.For the first 38 years, Interac was a founder-owned company. Between 2010 and 2014, upon the retirement of its founder, Interac was owned by Advantage Partners, a Tokyo-based private-equity firm with a diverse stable of company investments. Since April 2014, Interac has become part of Link & Motivation Inc (TSE:2170). Link and Motivation Inc has a range of interests and subsidiaries in the business consultancy, education, recruiting, and hospitality sectors in Japan.
