Teacher Education Career Fairs

During both the spring and fall semester, Education Career Services hosts a Teacher Education Career Fair. Over 100 recruiting entities from Texas and other states, some as far away as California, New York and Alaska attend hoping to hire UT graduates.

The next Teacher Education Career Fair will be held on Thursday, April 9, 2009 from 9:00 - 11:30 a.m. at the Frank Erwin Center. The morning portion of the fair is reserved for students to browse and meet recruiting entities, while the afternoon portion of the fair is reserved for interviews by recruiter invitation. The Teacher Education Career Fair is open to the public and admission is free.

This is an excellent opportunity for College of Education students to familiarize themselves with the job market and get acquainted with what the various districts and other recruiting entities have to offer. Undergraduate candidates in Teacher Certification and graduate students from Curriculum & Instruction, School of Information, Educational Administration, Educational Psychology and Special Education are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to talk with recruiters and make contacts with the recruiting entities.

It is important for participants to be well-prepared. Attendees should review districts' Web sites, prepare and take abundant copies of résumés, and dress professionally. If you have questions, please call our office at (512) 471-1511.
