Annual Recruitment Event for Teachers
Every January, we hold a major recruitment event, showcasing Hertfordshire
as a great place to work for teachers and support staff in our schools.
This year nearly 700 people came to find out more about teaching in our schools
- our most successful ever! We are now planning next year's event and the date
has been set for Thursday 4th January 2007.
More details will be available nearer to the time!
This is an interesting day of talks about issues related to teaching
in Hertfordshire, information about routes into teaching and an opportunity
to meet up with members of the Local Education Authority and representatives
from our Schools.
Please put the date in your diary for next year!
There is a packed programme of talks throughout the afternoon, covering such
issues as What It's like to be an NQT in Herts, Behaviour Management, Teaching
in a Primary, Secondary and Special Schools, Applying for a Job, Routes into
teaching.

Recruitment Fairs - National and Local
The School Workforce Development Team represents Hertfordshire as a county
and teaching in general at Recruitment Fairs. We attend approximately
20 University Recruitment Fairs at ITTs throughout the UK, and talk to
student and trainee teachers about opportunities in Herts schools and
the NQT induction programme (which has an excellent reputation throughout
the country).
In addition to this, we also attend more general careers fairs to talk
to the general public about careers in schools and help to organise our
own Hertfordshire Schools recruitment fairs in locations around the county
where there may be recruitment problems.
Local Recruitment Fairs
In the past, we have organised local fairs in Cheshunt, Borehamwood,
Stevenage, South Oxhey and Watford, working with local schools and consortia
to raise awareness of the opportunities for teaching and support staff
in our schools.
If you think that a coordinated approach to recruitment with your neighbours
would be useful, please contact us for more information.
