Why apply?

Corps Teachers are guaranteed a teaching position.

Oakland City Teacher Corps offers a streamlined application process and specialized training for outstanding credentialed teachers new to the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD).

Oakland City Teacher Corps (OCTC) is an initiative of the Oakland Unified School District to recruit high quality, credentialed teachers into the District's hardest-to-staff schools. Applications submitted to OCTC are reviewed immediately. Qualified candidates are invited to interview within two weeks of submitting an application. Upon acceptance into the program, Oakland City Teacher Corps teachers begin the placement process and work hand in hand with the OCTC Placement Manager to connect to schools and principals.             

We need credentialed teachers in nearly all subject areas.
