We have hired seven faculty of color in the past three years, and three of them were referred by nemnet, which continues to be our number one faculty recruiting resource.

Simply put, nemnet changed my life. As a new teacher with only part time experiences, I was ready for something full time if only given the chance! San Francisco University High School found me on nemnet and asked to interview me for their English opening at the upcoming nemnet career fair. I met with the school 3 more times after the career fair, taught a demo lesson and was finally offered a position in their new teacher program! It is a one year mentored position with the chance to teach 3 of my own classes. I'm so excited! I finally made it and I owe this opportunity to nemnet for opening this door for me.

I am a recent college graduate from Stone Mountain, GA. I came in contact with nemnet while attending a graduate/employment opportunities workshop on campus. nemnet served as a catalyst in providing myself and fellow classmates an opportunity to come in contact with the Dean of faculty at a prestigious private school in New England. If not for nemnet I probably would not have even heard of the school nor had the opportunity to attain the position I acquired for the 2008-09 school year.

nemnet, really does all it says it will for its members. I found my new teaching position listed in one of the "Jobs of the Week" postings they emailed me.
