Employment Opportunities
Many former and current service members find it challenging to translate the skills they have developed during their service to positions within the civilian world. Similar to military service, the NYCDOE offers a wide variety of positions and unique career opportunities. Every position within the NYCDOE plays a pivotal role in ensuring that the DOE continues to operate efficiently and effectively. Whether you served as a MOS 92G Food Service Specialist in the Army, an Aviation Machinist’s Mate in the Navy, or as an officer in one of the five branches, the DOE’s full-time and part-time employment opportunities will enable you to pursue your interests and promote the skills that you have already acquired through your service.
The NYCDOE is also collaborating with Troops to Teachers, Troops to Teachers New York (TTTNY) is a United States Department of Defense grant-funded program run by the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE), in partnership with St. Francis College (SFC), a Yellow Ribbon School. TTTNY is working to decrease Veteran and transitioning military personnel unemployment and proactively address the teacher shortage in critical need districts and areas. We seek to provide an excellent career opportunity in education for the United States Military Veterans and transitioning service members. This opportunity is available to Veterans and transitioning service members from all branches of the U.S. Military (Air Force, Army, Marines, National Guard, and Navy).
The TTTNY program's mission is to recruit, support, educate, train, employ, certify, and hire former military personnel to become highly qualified educators in the New York City public school system. The program also provides Veterans and transitioning service members with academic and career counseling, professional development and mentoring opportunities, as well as additional education and clinical counseling resources.
