Scope of Work:

Ohio Troops to Teacher Program Area Coordinator (TTTAC)

Join the Ohio Department of Education’s Troops to Teachers team as we recruit current and former military

members to begin a new career as a public-school teacher. We are looking for individuals who have

progressed through the Troops to Teachers program to acquire licensure and have proven expertise in

teaching and leadership to join the team as part-time area coordinators.

Troops to Teachers (TTT) is a national program funded by the Department of Defense (DoD) to help military

veterans begin a new career as a public-school teacher — giving the military veteran the opportunity to use

their leadership skills, knowledge and experience to have a positive effect on our nation's youth. The

program provides counseling and referral services for participants to help them meet education and licensing

requirements to teach. Subsequently, the program helps the military veteran secure a teaching position and

provide counsel after placement. There are also financial benefits for military veterans that meet certain

eligibility requirements.

We are looking for individuals interested in a part-time position to work with military veterans within specific

regions within Ohio.
