Education Job Fair on March 25

The Mendocino County Office of Education (MCOE) is hosting an Education Job Fair on March 25. Local school districts and education agencies across Mendocino and Lake County are participating in the event. There are more than 50 open positions available. The fair will take place from 9 AM to 12 PM at the MCOE Cedar Building, located at 2240 Old River Road, Ukiah.

Job seekers interested in pursuing a career in education are invited to attend the fair and interview with employers. They should bring multiple copies of their current resume, relevant credentials or licenses, letters of recommendation, and copies of academic transcripts. Representatives from Mendocino College and National University will be available to discuss affordable certification pathways for new teachers and opportunities to receive additional education and job skills.

“People don’t often think about the wide range of jobs available in schools,” said Mendocino County Superintendent of Schools Nicole Glentzer. “I encourage anyone that seeks a fulfilling career with exceptional benefits to come explore their options at the upcoming Education Job Fair. This is a great opportunity to connect with potential employers, learn about available positions, and receive career guidance.”

The job fair includes opportunities for both classified and certificated positions. Classified employees fill a variety of roles such as accounting, payroll, food service, bus drivers, and clerical support staff that do not require a teaching credential. Certificated staff such as teachers and administrators must have additional credentials, licenses or training. Emergency permits may be available for those who want to teach while completing the requirements of a full credential.
