About EnCorps
The EnCorps Teachers Program helps skilled professionals in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) to make the transition into teaching these subjects to younger generations. We are working to close the achievement gap through putting passionate math and science professionals into the classroom so they can pass their knowledge onto future leaders in these industries.
The Opportunity
Public schools are facing an acute shortage of quality math and science teachers, with students testing well below grade levels in these subjects. California alone will require more than 33,000 math and science teachers over the next seven to ten years.
The Solution
The EnCorps Teachers Program is an innovative public-private partnership dedicated to increasing the number of critically-needed math and science teachers in California's public middle and high schools.
We help talented second career professionals and retirees in science, healthcare, technology, engineering, finance, and math-related professions explore careers in math and science education and successfully transition into teaching and tutoring jobs in low-income, public school classrooms. EnCorps has helped more than 2000 professionals thoughtfully consider teaching as their next career.
