EDUCATION--Université Sainte-Anne-Collège de l'Acadie Hosts Job Fair


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.
