CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — A Wyoming-based company that teaches English over the Internet to students in several Asian countries plans to hire 100 more teachers to work in Casper.

Eleutian Technology says it will open a teaching center in the city in April as it continues its plans to expand along the Interstate 25 corridor to Cheyenne and Laramie, and west to Rock Springs.

The company has about 300 Wyoming teachers who instruct students in Asia over the Internet using computers, video cameras, and Skype, a free Internet teleconferencing service.

The company recently signed a contract with the Korean Ministry of Education that adds about 100 schools.

Eleutian CEO Kent Holiday says the company has trained more than 400 teachers and hopes to employ thousands more in the next five years to teach English.
