TROY, MI --(Marketwired - September 06, 2017) - Kelly Services (
"We are thrilled to welcome Teachers On Call to the Kelly family," said George Corona , president and chief executive officer of Kelly Services. "Their geographic and service footprint complement the current reach of Kelly Educational Staffing, and their commitment to putting students first and delivering service excellence aligns perfectly with Kelly's culture and priorities." Commenting on the market implications, Corona added, "This acquisition demonstrates that even though Kelly is already leading the education market, we have no intention of slowing down."
In announcing her retirement from Teachers On Call, Kim Howard, president and chief executive officer, remarked, "I'm excited for the next phase of life after many years of entrepreneurship and work in the staffing industry. I'm confident that as a Kelly Services company, Teachers On Call will not only grow, but flourish. I couldn't be more excited about the combination and what it means for the employees and clients of Teachers On Call."
Demand for educational staffing services has grown amidst full-time teacher shortages and an increasingly complex regulatory environment. With an average of 300,000 full-time teachers absent from U.S. classrooms each day, school administrators are under constant pressure to manage their workforce efficiently while holding costs in check and keeping the focus firmly on educating their students.Both Kelly Educational Staffing and Teachers On Call have long-standing records of helping address schools' talent needs.
"We're delivering a complete education talent management solution," said Nicola Soares, vice president and managing director of Kelly Educational Staffing, who now also leads Teachers On Call. "Not only are both companies addressing the full-time teacher shortage head-on, this acquisition also expands our market leadership to a wider geographic area and an even broader set of talent needs, including early child care centers. We're proud of our market position, but even prouder that we're enabling teachers and administrators to focus on what matters most: creating an environment where students and teachers can thrive."
