Transforming Talent at Teach For Taiwan
By: Juan Alcácer and Chi Kuan
Abstract
The Teach For Taiwan (TFT) case follows founder Anting Liu as she considers how to scale the nonprofit’s talent strategy after a decade of impact in rural education. TFT recruits high-potential young professionals into a 2-year teaching fellowship, aiming to address educational inequity while reshaping public perceptions of nonprofit careers. As the organization grows, TFT must choose between expanding the number of fellows or investing deeper in leadership development and alumni engagement. Facing resource constraints, cultural challenges, and societal skepticism, the case raises critical questions about how to attract, support, and retain mission-aligned talent in purpose-driven organizations.
