The recent annual UTeach Job Fair brought together 73 school districts from across the country to meet with 78 graduating student teachers.

“This job fair is one of the many ways UToledo advances the success of our Education majors — by connecting them with future employers. UToledo Education students get outstanding training and are ready to hit the ground running in any school,” said Dr. Melissa Gregory, dean of the College of Arts and Letters. “This was a perfect opportunity for our future teachers to make critical contact with school districts of their choice — and be introduced to new possibilities they weren’t even aware of.”

Throughout the fair, recruiters praised UToledo students for their confidence, preparation, and professionalism. Many student teachers left with second interviews scheduled or job contracts in hand, highlighting the success of the event in helping future educators take the next step in their careers.

Each year, the UTeach Job Fair provides a key recruiting opportunity for school districts while supporting the transition of UToledo’s education students into the teaching profession. With strong participation from employers and consistent positive feedback, the fair remains a cornerstone event for connecting well-prepared graduates with districts in need of qualified educators.
