The Stanislaus County Office of Education (SCOE) is hosting a Teacher Recruitment Job Fair on Saturday, April 9 from 8:30 a.m. to noon at SCOE’s downtown offices, 1100 H St., Modesto. This year’s job fair is open to fully-credentialed teachers or intern-eligible candidates and credential completion candidates by August 2016 (verified by Program Completion letter or Intern Eligible letter) who pre-register on-line by Wednesday, March 30 at www.edjoin.org. Admission is free. (Candidates who do not pre-register will be admitted into the fair at 10 a.m.)

Thirty-two school districts, including private and charter schools, SCOE, four colleges, and the California Teachers Association, will be on hand to fill positions for the 2016-17 school year. On-site interviews will be conducted by many districts so candidates should bring a complete application packet consisting of:

Copy of online Ed-Join application;

Résumé;

Copy of Transcripts;

Copy of Valid credential(s) or a letter from a university or district Intern Program stating eligibility from their program or credential program completion letter.

Teachers looking for a position at a specific school district will have an opportunity to ask questions regarding benefits, retirement, and salary.

“Teachers coming to the Job Fair will have face-to-face contact with Human Resources staff and administrators to get their questions answered,” said Suzanne Lazar, Credential Analyst at SCOE. “At last year’s Job Fair our office alone made 20 job offers, and many districts also made job offers.”
