Looking for something different? Good news, you found it. 

EF combines the energy of a start-up with the scale of a global company.

The story of EF

Working here means joining our mission of opening the world through education. So bring your talents, your perspective, and your ambition. In return, we offer a vibrant, dynamic environment, and a fulfilling international career.

What we do

The work we do everyday has a real impact on making the world a better and more understanding place for everyone. Founded in 1965 in Sweden, EF (Education First) is a global association of education companies that share a common mission of opening the world through education, offering language, academic, cultural exchange and education travel programs.

Our culture

This is the most fun, high caliber place you'll ever work. Our vibrant offices and schools are located in some of the world's greatest cities, but if you ask any EF employee what they like best they'll tell you the same thing, "It's the people." Here you're guaranteed to be surrounded by smart, driven, friendly people from all over the world. People who push each other to be better, while having a great time doing it.

Our core beliefs have helped us stay small even as we’ve grown

We put customers first

We aim to provide every EF customer with a beautiful experience, filled with learning and personal growth. We strive to support them at every step of their journey and obsess over the details. This ensures they have a truly exceptional—and transformative—experience.


We take ownership

We don’t just do our jobs, we own them. That means being the driver of our day-to-day successes, taking responsibility, and finding ways to make things better. Our entrepreneurial spirit is how we grow big in size while staying small at heart. This is one of our superpowers.


We make it fun

We take pride in our work and in the quality of our service, but we never take ourselves too seriously. (Which is why we also dress up in costumes, break Guinness World Records, and occasionally invent a song or two…) We believe having fun brings out the best in us. It fuels our curiosity, collaboration, and passion. It also makes working at EF a blast.

Career growth

No two career paths at EF are the same. As a major, global company we offer multiple ways for you to grow personally and professionally. You have the opportunity to advance within your chosen field or change function, change divisions, even work in different countries. You are encouraged to steer your own course and go as far as your talent and drive will take you.

How we work

Most of our roles are on-site because we believe, much like our business, that our best work happens when we bring people together. When you walk through the door of any EF office or school, anywhere in the world, you feel that energy. Inside (and out), you’ll find inspiring, modern environments designed to foster creativity, connection, and mentorship.

What we look for

There isn’t one type of person who works at EF, but there are a few things many of us have in common. Curiosity, ownership, and a willingness to take on real responsibility early. We’re an international company filled with people who move quickly, so if you are globally minded, adaptable, and excited about building something together, check out our open roles.

Global perks

Being part of a global travel and education company has its benefits. When you work at EF you get discounts on EF programs, free use of the EF Hello app, and travel that can be part of your job. For long-term employees, we also have perks like a sabbatical program. Plus, you get discounts through the EF Pro Cycling team (yes, that same one you see in the Tour de France).
