Fulton Schools To Host Career Fairs

Six career fairs are being held in November and December to attract teaching talent to the Fulton County School System.

As a new approach, the fall career fairs are being planned in each of Fulton’s five learning communities – Northeast, Northwest, Central, South and Achievement Zone. Organized geographically, the learning community structure allows for a decentralized approach to school management and provides schools the opportunity to work more closely together and align resources.

The learning community career fair approach helps the district to recruit candidates who have talents or skills that are in more need in a specific geographic area while also helping candidates who want to focus their job search on a certain school or city.

The career fairs focus on assessing potential candidates for existing and future positions, with some interview opportunities occurring that day. Experienced teachers as well as recent and soon-to-be-graduates are encouraged to attend to learn more about employment with Fulton County Schools.

The learning community approach also will give prospective teachers a glimpse into the community partners, vendors, and leaders that serve in that specific area, giving the candidate a chance to experience the culture and opportunity beyond what a traditional career fair would offer.

Special education, foreign language, elementary education, math, science ESOL, art and music are among the top areas being recruited. Applicants should bring copies of their resume, teaching certificate, and/or GACE scores.
