Educator Expo offers lessons in job hunting

California State University, Sacramento is offering an opportunity for teachers and potential educators to interview and find jobs within California’s school districts. The Educator Recruitment Expo is 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. on Monday, April 14 in the University Union Ballroom. CSUS students receive early admission at 9 a.m.

According to Project Pipeline, a teacher recruitment, placement and training agency, California public schools will need 20,000 new teachers per year for the next 10 years in order to accommodate the state’s growing population. The University’s career center says at least 80 employers are attending the Expo to find some of those potential teachers. Many will offer question and answer sessions, resumé critiques and on-site interviews.

The Educator Expo is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Deborah Filbeck Bates in the CSUS career center at (916) 278-5721. For media assistance contact the CSUS public affairs office at (916) 278-6156.
