As one of the largest non-government employers of foreign nationals in Japan they employ nearly 3,500 staff in Japan across a network of 13 offices. Around 3,200 of these employees are non-Japanese.

Interac began as a provider of corporate educational services but from the mid-nineties began providing ALTs and education-related services to Boards of Education across Japan.

The company has fifteen domestic branches within Japan, with associated offices in Salt Lake City and Oxford. There are approximately 100 administrative staff, and a teaching team of over 2,500 ALTs and language teachers for English and other languages.
