May 28, 2009
A tight job market has a record number of college graduates seeking positions with Teach for America, reports the Associated Press.
More than 35,000 prospective graduates — including 11 percent of all Ivy League seniors — applied to join the nonprofit service program for the coming school year, a 42 percent gain over 2008. The program will send 4,100 new recruits into classrooms this fall, primarily in poor areas.
