APS Job Fair Set For July 11
School district has hundreds of open positions and is especially in need of special education teachers, educational assistants, bus drivers, and custodians.
If you’re looking for a new career challenge, Albuquerque Public Schools wants to talk to you.
APS has 740 open positions and is hoping to fill many of those vacancies during a Job Fair on Tuesday, July 11, at Berna Facio Professional Development Center, 3315 Louisiana Blvd. NE.
The Job Fair will run from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
“Join us for a day of networking, job opportunities, and career growth as we connect job seekers with APS school administrators and department hiring managers,” district Human Resources officials said in their announcement of the job fair.
Dorothy Chavez, senior director of employee processes and human resource systems for the district, notes that APS has competitive salaries and attractive benefits packages. She urges anyone looking for a job or considering an employment change to attend the job fair.
Representatives from the University of New Mexico, Grand Canyon University, and Central New Mexico Community College will be at the fair to let job seekers know about the numerous pathways and resources available to start a career in education.
Of the 740 open jobs at APS, roughly 300 are teaching positions. The biggest needs APS is seeing right now are for special education teachers, educational assistants, bus drivers, and custodians, but there are a host of other positions that also need to be filled.
Anyone planning to attend the job fair is asked to:
