Our new #GetHired initiative is to get more teachers into schools this year. If you have a 4-year bachelor’s degree with a 2.5 GPA or higher, and are committed to making a difference in the lives of students, then this program is for you. There is a real shortage of teachers in this country and together we can help solve it!
If you haven’t already, submit your application. The longer you wait to apply, the harder it will be for you to get hired. The BEST WAY to get hired is to commit to a HIGH-NEED subject area. Click here to read more about selecting a marketable subject area. A Program Advisor will call you to conduct a phone interview and assist you in choosing the area(s) that best match your skills and interests.
