Teaching career fairs provide an incredible opportunity to expedite the job finding process. Remember to explain that you are working with an Alternative Licensure Program. Explain where you are in the alternative licensure process and what your plans are for acquiring your teaching training. In addition, it would be helpful to bring brochures from Western's Teach Now Program in order to help districts understand this process.
Colorado holds several education career fairs each year. The Teach Now staff encourages you to attend one or more of these fairs to explore employment opportunities. Please visit the Colorado Department of Education website for dates, locations and contact information.
(This information is updated each spring.)
Review the WSC Teacher Education Department suggestions on how to get the most out of your Career Fair experience.
