Université Sainte-Anne-Collège de l'Acadie Hosts Job Fair
Department of Education (to March 26, 2013)
January 29, 2004 2:04 PM
Graduating bachelor of education students at Université Sainte-
Anne-Collège de l'Acadie are sprucing up their résumés and
beginning their job hunt today, Jan. 29.
The people who hire teachers for Nova Scotia's school boards will
be at the university in Church Point for the third in a series of
Early Hiring Job Fairs for 2004.
"The Department of Education, along with school boards and other
partners, organized the job fairs to help boards recruit new
teachers to fill positions in areas such as mathematics,
chemistry, physics, technology education and French," said
Education Minister Jamie Muir.
Each job fair will allow students to meet with representatives
from the school boards, the Nova Scotia Registrar of Teacher
Certification, the Nova Scotia Teachers Union, the Nova Scotia
School Boards Association and the Nova Scotia Teachers Credit
Union.
The final job fair will be held at Mount Saint Vincent University
on Friday, Jan. 30.
Nova Scotia school boards will also attend the Education Job Fair
organized by the University of Prince Edward Island on Thursday,
Feb. 12.
Boards will hire only a portion of their entire complement of
teachers through the job fairs.
Current term and substitute teachers, teachers who graduated
before 2004, or those who graduated from education programs at a
university outside Nova Scotia can find out more about employment
openings by contacting individual school boards.
Teachers wishing to apply directly to school boards will find a
list of boards and their contact information on the Department of
Education website at www.ednet.ns.ca .
Those teachers may also attend the University of Prince Edward
Island event in February at the Rodd Charlottetown Hotel.
This is the second year that the Department of Education, Nova
Scotia school boards and other partners have hosted job fair
events. Last year's fairs resulted in 99 graduating students
being offered jobs in Nova Scotia.
FOR BROADCAST USE:
The job hunt begins for graduating bachelor of education

The people who do the hiring at Nova Scotia's school boards
will be at the university in Church Point to meet and interview
the new teachers at the third in a series of Early Hiring Job
Fairs for new teachers.
Education Minister Jamie Muir says it's important for Nova
Scotia boards to get an early opportunity to hire new teachers
because they'll be recruited by boards outside the province soon.
The job fairs will help the boards fill teaching positions
in areas such as mathematics, chemistry, physics, technology
education and French.
