UM hosts annual
educators' career fair
Candidates in the field of education can meet and interview with school administrators for more than 1,500 job openings at the 14th annual Multi-State Educators' Career Fair.

The fair will be hosted by UM on Sunday, May 2, and Monday, May 3, at the Holiday Inn Parkside in downtown Missoula.

Last year's fair drew candidates from 23 states and Canada, along with administrators from 154 school districts in 16 states. The fair -- the most extensive west of the Mississippi -- offers candidates the opportunity to interview for jobs in teaching, special education, counseling and administration.

The fair gets started on Sunday, when many school districts will offer 20-minute information sessions between 3 and 6 p.m. At 6 p.m., an hour-long strategy session will be held to offer candidates advice on how to make the best use of the career fair.

Also on Sunday is the Big Sky Social, an event for school district administrators only. The social will be held from 7 to 9 p.m., with hors d'oeuvres, refreshments and entertainment.

Monday's activities start at 8 a.m. with a full day of information tables and interviews. A luncheon buffet for school district personnel only is planned for 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., during which time the fair will continue. The fair ends at 5 p.m.

Register by calling (406) 243-4437. Fees are $40 for candidates, $95 for Montana school districts and $195 for out-of-state school districts. The luncheon buffet for administrators is an additional $10.95 per recruiter.

For an extra $5, candidates may choose to have their information listed on a database that will be made available to all school districts attending the fair.
