Competition for Certified Teachers in New Jersey Is Growing

New Jersey districts often face a limited pool of candidates when hiring qualified instructors. In the 2022-23 school year, there were nearly 200 open positions and about 11,400 uncertified educators statewide. The biggest shortages are found in core subjects and special education, and districts like Newark and Trenton are left with vacant classrooms and underserved students.

Why Virtual Hiring Works in New Jersey

Every unfilled New Jersey position impacts the budget and every underqualified hire can be a compliance issue. Strict NJDOE certification rules make it hard for districts like Newark and Jersey City to quickly find qualified teachers through traditional hiring. Proximity Learning solves this by placing certified, NJDOE-compliant teachers into classrooms through live, synchronous instruction within days.
