Headshots at the fair

The Regional Teacher Recruitment fair held every spring at USI is one of the largest in the area. Representatives from school districts attend the fair to recruit upperclassmen and recent graduates. This partnership provides greater opportunities to connect students from these schools with school districts from across the nation.

Upcoming Fair Information 

USI Students can register to attend the fair and find more details on Career Launch. You should plan to dress professionally and bring 10 or more copies of your resume. School districts may choose to do same-day interviews at the fair.

Reasons To Attend Teacher Recruitment Fair

1. Potential career opportunities - School districts come to campus specifically to recruit USI students. They will have information about their current openings, which should be listed on Career Launch so you can do your research before the fair.
2. Networking - Employers like meeting students face to face. This is your chance to shine! It is sometimes hard to get an interview at the most desirable schools, but everyone gets a chance to chat with employers at a career fair. 
3. Attending the fair is a great way to get in a professional frame of mind. You will have the chance to dress professionally, introduce yourself to others, hear some of the questions employers and students are asking each other. This can help give you insight into how to prepare for a formal interview.
4. Underclassmen should attend the fair to get familiar with how a career fair works. When you are looking for an internship or job you will be prepared and know what to expect!
5. Even if you know where you will be working following graduation, it doesn't hurt to network with other companies and employers.  You never know when opportunity will come knocking.

Each fall, usually the first week of classes, we host this fair to connect students with companies hiring for part-time jobs. Positions must be less than 25 hours per week and flexible to work with a student's class schedule. Students can find more details on Career Launch. Employers can contact us to register.
