Former Nova Teachers Become Neo-Nova Teachers
 |
G.communication, the company that has taken over the wreckage of Nova Corporation?s English conversation school chain, has announced that it is rehiring many former Nova employees.:
Of the 1,760 Nova employees that G.communication has decided to take on, 1,548 are foreign teachers and 212 are Japanese staff.
They were part of the 3,500 workers interviewed by G.communication when it held briefings about its employment policy in Tokyo, Osaka and elsewhere last Friday and Saturday, according to the company.
The employees will receive the same or higher salaries and will be subject to different terms of employment than at Nova. They will also be provided with company housing, G.communication said.
?A higher than expected number of people applied for jobs and we hope to resume teaching at as many schools as possible at an early date,? a G.communication spokesperson said.
Those of you who were hoping to never see Nova again will be disappointed to hear that G.communication is planning to keep the Nova brand. In addition to re-opening former 30 Nova schools in the next month, G.communication will be re-branding its EC eikawai schools as Nova branches. [All the benefits of the old brand, with none of the responsibilities of paying back employees and students!]
