Start a Holmes Program
The Holmes Scholars® Program mentors and supports students from underrepresented backgrounds as they prepare for careers in education. As a Holmes Scholar, you’ll join a national network of peers and mentors. You’ll also get professional development, and you can present your work at AACTE events.
Is your campus not part of the program yet? Talk to your dean or faculty advisor about bringing Holmes to your institution. They can schedule an interest call with AACTE to get started.
Browse the Career Center
Whether you’re graduating soon or ready for your next move, the AACTE Career Center connects you with employers looking for educators. You can browse new openings in teaching, educator preparation, and higher education as they’re posted. Set up job alerts so new listings come straight to you, and upload your résumé so employers can find you.
