Teach For America is proud to partner with Monitor.

Joining Teach For America before pursuing a career in business will provide you with the management experience and skills that will help you have a greater impact in the business world. By committing two years to teach in a low-income community, you will have an unparalleled opportunity to assume tremendous responsibility—managing a classroom of students, setting ambitious goals, and inspiring your students to meet those goals. Through this experience, alumni say that they developed invaluable communication and time-management skills that are highly transferable to a career in business.

For Monitor, it is never enough to provide excellent advice. We always seek to leave our clients more capable of strategic adaptation and facing the challenges of growth. In short, we also see ourselves as educators. It is not a coincidence that several of our most successful and senior executives have been teachers at some point in their careers. Corps members' demonstrated commitment to education, along with the important skills and life experiences gained through Teach For America, make them more appealing candidates for us at Monitor. Teach For America is a critical national asset and it is a privilege to partner with them.
