The St. Joseph School District is holding a job fair for teachers Wednesday in St. Joseph.

“We’re asking for all individuals interested in getting into education, whether it be for the upcoming school year or future school years this is an opportunity for them to come out and really learn about the St. Joseph School District and what we have to offer,” said Amy Todd, Human Resources Dir. “It’s a meet and greet where we can really talk to any potential applicants and anyone interested in the St. Joseph School District.”

She said the number of vacancies for the 2016-17 school year is not yet known for sure but the average vacancies going into a new school year run between about 50 to 75 positions.  She said they won’t know for sure how many openings are available until after June.

“People will have until June 1st to notify the school district whether they’ll be leaving or staying with the school district so we won’t know fully until that time,” Todd said. “We have had some individuals already turn in their retirement for the upcoming school year.”

She said anyone interested in attending the job fair is encouraged to bring copies of their resumes and will have a chance to meet with administrators from various areas.

“There will be opportunities to give them information on our upcoming interview and recruitment process as well,” Todd said “We will ask that people apply online officially but we will take information there to be able to contact individuals to set up screening interviews.”

The fair will be held Wednesday, Feb. 10 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Troester Media Center located at 3401 Renick in St. Joseph.
