Learning and hiring at the same time

The campus is getting a new address and all the building as well. Pictured is the Arts and Education building.

On April 7, Teacher Candidates from the Bachelor of Education Program met with prospective employers at TRU for the Education Career Fair 2017. A new event initiated by the School of Education, the day began with brief “speed dating” interviews in the morning, with Teacher Candidates rotating through eight different employers. These mini-interviews provided Teacher Candidates a chance to practice their interview schools, learn about a variety of job opportunities in BC schools (public urban/rural, independent, and off-shore), as well as build their profile with specific employers. After a networking session for Year 1 Teacher Candidates with the employers, the afternoon provided time for further in-depth interviews, with many Teacher Candidates moving on to follow-up interviews — and even some job offers!
