Troops to Teachers Program

Overview of Kentucky Troops to Teachers
Troops to Teachers (TTT) is a federally funded program. The purpose of TTT is to assist eligible military personnel to transition to a new career as public school teachers in “high-need” schools. Counseling, referral, and placement assistance in Kentucky is provided through the EPSB’s TTT Program. Learn more...
