Hiring Troops to Teachers Candidates

Why Should You Hire a Troops to Teachers Candidate?

If you are facing the problem of finding qualified, dedicated teachers to fill shortages in your school or district, Troops to Teachers is your answer.

Statistically, former troops have a high retention rate as teachers.  Representing significant proportions of minority groups and comprising a largely male component, they have maturity, life experience and embrace diversity.  Many TTT participants are willing and qualified to teach science and mathematics as well as other difficult-to-fill critical subject areas including special education, foreign languages and vocational education.

Those who have hired TTT participants immediately recognize their exceptional teaching ability and want to hire more “just like them.”  Military veterans have established a reputation as excellent educators and role models for today’s students.  The leadership skills, breadth of experience, dedication and maturity that our former marines, sailors, soldiers and airmen bring to the classroom are attributes sought by parents and school administrators alike.
