Welcome to the Project Pipeline website. If you are interested in acquiring a single subject or special education teaching credential, are currently enrolled in our credential programs, or are interested in employing interns who are working on such credentials, this website is for you!

At this website, prospective applicants will find credential program information, recruitment announcements, and downloadable applications for your convenience. Current interns can review credential and course update information through our intern announcement boards. Employing school districts will find information on how to hire our highly qualified teacher interns by becoming a participating member of Project Pipeline. In addition, Project Pipeline publications and links to pertinent state and federal agency websites are also provided for your convenience.

Each year, approximately 56 Northern California school districts employ Project Pipeline teacher interns at 185 public school sites. Our teacher interns have exemplary and diverse backgrounds in leadership, whom are recruited directly from universities, the education community, military bases, and other industries. Through the strong instruction and support of our dedicated faculty and staff, our graduates have demonstrated excellence in bringing result driven leadership into Northern California classrooms and communities. Over 90% of our teacher interns remain in the education profession after graduation, moving on to become nominated teachers of the year, school department chairs, vice principals, principals, school administrators, appointed members of the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, board members as well as Project Pipeline instructors.

Interns who complete all requirements receive a teaching credential from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, which is recognized in all California public schools, as well as over thirty states that have interstate agreements to accept California teaching credentials.

I trust that you will find answers to your questions on the website, but feel free to contact us at the Project Pipeline center nearest you.
