Our Job Search Assistance for Teachers program offers job search
assistance to our candidates as well as support to the employers
who seek to hire our candidates. Referred to as JSAT, the
program is supported by Teacher Education faculty, staff in
Student Services, our partners at the Internship and Career
Center, alumni of our program, and administrators from local
school districts.
For Teacher Candidates:
Beginning in their Winter Quarter, teacher candidates are
provided a series of events and services to support them as they
begin their employment search. The JSAT process provides
guidance and support on a wide variety of issues involved in a
job search, such as:
Resume and cover letter preparation through written examples
and in-person assistance
How to establish a profile and apply for positions via
Edjoin (the premier education job website)
Interview tips and practice questions
A series of practice interviews with our alumni and local
district employers where verbal and written feedback is provided
A hiring Job Fair exclusively for UC Davis trained teachers
Beginning at the end of Winter Quarter, weekly employment
emails are sent to students making them aware of recruitment
events and notices of job openings we receive from
alumni/employers.
For Employers:
If you would like to hire a UCD trained teacher, we offer the
following services to assist you:
Send us your notice of job fairs so that we may share them
with our credential candidates. Send to:
eduadvising@ucdavis.edu
Beginning in mid-March, send us your job openings so that we
may share them with our credential candidates. It is helpful for
you to provide information on your community, why they should
consider your district, and next steps in the process if they are
interested. Send to: eduadvising@ucdavis.edu
Participation in the Job Fair is limited and
invitations are offered to our partner districts,
districts from a variety of geographical locations, and districts
who hire our students. Consideration is given to other
districts based on space availability.
If you would like to be considered for the 2019 Job Fair,
please watch this website for updates. Each year we review
student feedback after the fair and evaluate our attendee list
for future events.
Each year the School of Education teaching credential students
participate in mock interviews, a unique career preparation
opportunity. We host two mock interview days in which experienced
alumni and district representatives conduct practice interviews
for our teaching credential students. Students learn to present
themselves as effectively as possible in job interviews—and
sometimes even receive district job offers.
