GREENSBORO, NC – An Education Career Day with representatives from more than 100 school systems in North Carolina and across the eastern U.S. will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 30, at UNCG.
The event will take place 12:30- 4 p.m. in Cone Ballroom of Elliott University Center. Sponsors are the UNCG Career Services Center and School of Education. For additional details, visit the Career Services website at www.uncg.edu/csc and click on Education Career Day.
The event is being held for UNCG students who are currently seeking teacher certification, in addition to students seeking positions in school counseling, library science, social work, speech pathology, nursing, dietetics and administration within educational settings. It is also open to alumni of UNCG and other interested community members. In years past, many of the recruiters came from Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Connecticut, and New York to join those from 70-80 North Carolina school systems.
“The job market for educators continues to be excellent,” said Janice Simpson, an assistant director of Career Services. “The employers who register for this event often have strong needs in the areas of elementary and middle grades teaching, the sciences, mathematics, special education, foreign languages, English, history, school counseling and speech pathology.”
“While our Education Career Day is primarily geared to students and alumni, it is open to the community as well. Meeting with the recruiters will enable future educators to see what opportunities in the field of education are available in North Carolina, as well as elsewhere in the country.”
