Job Fair for educational professionals Aug. 2
Posted July 29, 2016
In response to the shortage of educational professionals in Washington state, ESD 112 and 11 local districts are partnering in a “Take Root” in Southwest Washington Job Fair next week. The event, which is set for 3 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 2, at ESD 112, 2500 NE 65th Ave., Vancouver, is for anyone wanting to grow a career in education.
ESD 112 and participating school districts are looking for people interested in making a difference in the lives of children. Openings include teachers, paraeducators, substitute teachers, bus drivers, school nurses, school psychologists, occupational therapists and speech and language pathologists.
Representatives from school districts and ESD 112 will be on hand to share information and assist potential employees in preparing to work in a school setting. Staff will answer questions about certification and other requirements and offer on-site fingerprinting services.
This is the third Take Root Job Fair held in partnership with regional school districts. Past fairs have seen applicants hired on the spot to begin or grow their career in education.
