TI Retirees Get
Involved With Education
One of
Texas Instrument’s highest priorities in its Community Programs is
education. TI and the TI Foundation are involved in education at all
levels from pre-K to university programs. The TI Alumni Association
feels that there is great opportunity for TI Retirees to get involved in
the education system. Placing educated, experienced retirees as tutors,
mentors, classroom assistants, substitute and full-time teachers,
benefits the community, the company and the retiree.
There are opportunities in many areas for volunteers and teachers in
our local educational systems ranging from elementary reading programs
to high school math, science and technology teachers. Local school
districts offer Alternative Certification Programs if you do not have a
teaching certificate. To qualify for substitute teaching you only need
to have 60 hours of college credit.
Please take a look at the opportunities below and decide if one is
right for you! For more information on TI’s involvement with Education,
