Experience in the education industry is not required and starting salaries begin at $85-$95K. The Broad Residency serves as a bridge for those who want to use their management skills as change agents in education.
Broad Residents lead major projects that require superb analytical skills and the ability to manage projects and teams. Working within the system, participants are well-positioned to lead the transformation required to ensure that every American child receives a world-class education. A sampling of Broad Residents’ accomplishments include:
- Saved $3 million per classroom by decreasing materials costs on 23 classrooms
- Reduced cycle time for textbook purchasing by three months, assuring that schools now receive 98 percent of textbooks before the start-of-school
- Decreased new hire process time from two weeks to four days
Simultaneous to job placement, Broad Residents receive two years of intensive professional development and join a national network of education leaders. This provides the support needed to transition into a management career that truly makes an impact.

I read about this and would LOVE to apply, but again…it would dictate where we live and as a USMC spouse, I am not able to move. We are stationed where the Marine Corps sends us. I could put my career first and move but with two young sons I can’t do that…we need to be together as a family as much as we can. Just another career path I am not able to pursue at this time.
