FORT LAUDERDALE – Broward County Public Schools wants you.
The school district is holding a career fair on Friday, looking to fill about 1,300 positions at its campuses across the county.
The Back-to-School Career Fair will run through 3 p.m. at Western High School, 1200 S.W. 136th Avenue in Davie.
“We are looking for people who have college degrees or no degrees. There is a place for everybody in Broward County public schools. We are the largest employer in the county and people may not understand or realize that there is a position for everybody in the county,” said Susan Rockelman, the school district’s Director of Talent Acquisition and Operations.
Positions that the district is looking to fill include teachers, classroom/teacher assistants, counselors, bus drivers, security staff, custodians, food service workers, and clerical.
All attendees are required to register online. They should also:
● Bring multiple copies of their resume.
● Prepare a list of questions to ask principals, supervisors, and human resources staff.
● Be ready to discuss their specific career path interests.
School representatives will conduct interviews for school-based positions during the following times:
• Middle and High Schools: 8 – 11 a.m.
• Elementary Schools: Noon – 3 p.m.
• Non-traditional schools: Times vary throughout the day based on the grade level vacancies.
Representatives from student transportation, food service; safety and security, and emergency preparedness will be available to meet with attendees throughout the event.
In an effort to address the teacher shortage, the district is offering alternative pathways to help potential candidates get certified, even if they don’t have a teaching certificate.
Qualified candidates may be hired on the spot and offered immediate positions.
