Project management is the best field to break into as an ex teacher imo.
Good to know! Any firms you know that are activity recruiting?
Tiaa - (Teachers Insurance and annuities) They have a knack for hiring teachers who are interested in becoming Licensed Financial Services Consultants.
They pay you for training 54k or something and you get a bump once you finish all of your licenses.
lol. They don’t hire teachers. The just provide retirement plans for higher ed.
my friend who is local helps teachers career change - check out 'careersforteachers' on Instagram. Caitlin is an amazing resource and is in the corporate world now.
She could maybe get into change management, L&D, or knowledge management, but it would be entry level for sure.
As another post mentioned project management could also work.
I would recommend searching for coordinator roles at reputable companies that have set review and promotion schedules (easier said than done, but ask about future opportunities in the interview).
She may have to settle for something a little less ideal initially, but if that is the case, put in 1 or 2 years, add a certification if she can, and start looking for new roles.
Good luck to her.
What did she teach?
First grade, masters in English
This is my exact scenario as well. Girlfriend teaches 6th grade English, and just got a masters in technical writing but trying to make the transition has been tough so far.
