School Districts, Teaching Candidates
Match Up At Annual Recruitment Fair
SAN JOSE, CA—Credentialed teachers seeking a job will mix with
representatives from numerous area school districts on Saturday, March 15 at the
annual Santa Clara County Teacher Recruitment Fair, at the Santa Clara County
Office of Education.
This is the 21st year that the Teacher Recruitment Fair has introduced
up to 2,000 job-hunters a year to potential employers from districts across the
county. It provides candidates with the opportunity for one-stop shopping in
their hunt, and presents districts with a wide array of potential employees who
already have their qualifications in hand.
To participate in the free job fair, applicants are required to have a
preliminary credential or clear credential, or to have worked as an intern for
one year. Applicants may preregister on-line at
www.sccoe.org.
Candidates who preregister will be able to enter the recruitment fair when it
starts at 9 a.m. Those who do not preregister may not enter until 11 a.m., and
must show their teaching credentials to gain admittance. The event runs until 2
p.m. at COE, 1290 Ridder Park Dr. in San Jose.
Jobs that are particularly in demand include speech pathologist and teachers
of special education, math, science, and foreign language. Bilingual educators
also are in demand.
The fair is co-sponsored by the Santa Clara County Office of Education and
the Region VIII Association of California School Administrators. For more
information, call (408) 453-6840.
