On Friday, January 20, 2023 the Teacher Education Office hosts the annual Education Career Fair for UBC Vancouver teacher candidates. This year, we welcome over 90 registered exhibitors from BC and beyond. Exhibitors include BC school districts, independent schools, international schools, community organizations, as well as those from out of province. BEd classes have been cancelled to give teacher candidates time to attend and meet recruiters.
3 Tips for Teacher Candidates to Prepare for the Career Fair:
- Research who’s coming to the Career Fair and prioritize which booths you want to visit in the time you’re given.
- Check out our map of the Great Hall. Each organization is assigned a booth number.
- While some recruiters may interview teacher candidates on the spot or one-on-one in private on the day, many will have limited time to get to know you, so have your paper and digital copies ready to share!
- Visit TEO Program Manager Keith McPherson’s Career Fair blog and read the helpful tips from dress code, resume and cover letting writing, questions to ask recruiters, and so – much – more!
