OTE, Opportunities Through English
OTE starts with a simple belief: useful opportunities are often created when the right people, experience and organisations come together.
No individual — and no organisation — has all the answers.
That’s why OTE is being built around a growing network of people and organisations with different experience, expertise and perspectives.
English-language and education specialists
Employers and business leaders
Universities and education providers
English-learning and technology companies
NGOs and public-sector organisations
International education and development specialists
Researchers, advisers and other independent professionals
People with relevant local or sector knowledge
Not everyone needs to become an OTE “partner”.
Sometimes the value may simply be knowing who has the right experience for a particular question or opportunity.
Bringing specialist knowledge or an additional perspective to a particular project or question.
Introducing organisations or people where there is a genuine reason for them to talk.
Exploring ideas, partnerships or projects where different organisations can bring complementary capabilities.
Contributing to OTE Perspectives, Practical Guides, Conversations or other useful content.
OTE isn’t interested in collecting contacts simply to make the network look bigger.
The starting point is whether someone brings relevant experience, expertise, perspective, reach or opportunity — and whether there is genuine value in connecting them with somebody else.
Sometimes it may lead to a project or commercial relationship. Sometimes the value may simply be in making the right connection.
The important thing is that there is a reason for it.
OTE is interested in hearing from people and organisations where there may be a specific reason to work together.
You might bring relevant expertise to a project, represent an organisation interested in collaboration, have a potential opportunity to explore, or be able to contribute specialist knowledge or experience.
If you can see a specific connection with what OTE is doing, tell us a little about it and why you think it could be useful.
