The 15th Annual Metro NY Charter School Career Fair News Release

Charter School Jobs™ (CharterSchoolJobs.com) held the 15th Annual Metro NY Charter School Career Fair this afternoon at Teachers College, Columbia University in New York City. Sixty public charter school organizations were recruiting certified classroom teachers (all subjects and grade-levels), instructional coordinators and leaders, and non-instructional school professionals. The event takes place between the hours of 1:00 pm and 3:30 pm.

The event is produced in partnership with the Office of Career Services at Teachers College. A mix of Teachers College students and alumni together with pre-screened candidates from the general public had the opportunity to meet face-to-face with hiring managers from a highly diverse group of public charter schools. Many of the school organizations attending manage multiple school locations, hence the recruiters at this fair actually represented 100s of charter schools in the Metro New York City region and beyond.

The Metro NY Charter School Career Fair is the premier job fair event for NYC charter schools. Employer tables have sold out completely every year for a decade. It is the longest-running charter school career fair event in the nation. K12connect (parent company of Charter School Jobs) CEO Kent Strong says “We have been at this for a long time and our success is built on a long history of attracting highly qualified teachers and other professional educators to this event.” He adds that “our relationship with Teachers College Career Services has been highly productive and beneficial for both of us - we get access to extremely talented and qualified students and alumni and they get access to hiring managers at many of the most successful K-12 public charter schools in the nation.”

As has been the case for the past several years, demand for certified teachers and instructional coordinators and leaders is very strong. The NYC Dept of Education has picked up its hiring and recruitment efforts in response to a job market that has grown extremely competitive. With the retirement of Baby Boomers and a dip in the number of graduates of teacher preparation programs across the country, “it’s a real dog-fight for talent these days” according to Mr. Strong. As usual, competition for Science, Math and Special Education teachers is very intense - particularly at the secondary level. “There simply are not enough STEM and Special Ed teachers to go around and people are scrambling to fill positions that often remain vacant for months” Strong says. “We don’t see it getting any better for a while and expect the Metro NY Charter School Career Fair will continue to be a highly successful event due to the very strong demand for qualified teachers for years to come.”
