The annual fair is an excellent venue for students to meet prospective employers, showcase skills and discuss hiring practices.
A total of 18 employers will be conducting formal employment interviews in private rooms during the day.
“Employers are excited about the opportunity to come to Nipissing and talk to our students. We had organizations contacting us in September to ensure they could get a table at the Career Fair. That’s a testament to the value of a degree from the Schulich School of Education,” said Dr. Carole Richardson, Dean of the Schulich School of Education.
School boards and international teaching agencies are well represented at the fair. There are also a number of opportunities outside a traditional classroom for students graduating with a Bachelor of Education. For example:Camp Kodiak, an integrated summer program for children with and without Learning Disabilities, ADHD and high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder;the Boundless School, an outdoor adventure centre; andCanadian Educational Services, a group that hires expert consultants to help people achieve their educational goals.
