Our Educator's EXPO allows WTAMU students and alumni a chance to learn more about your school system, your personnel needs, and the career paths you offer. Our faculty will be available for Employer/Faculty networking throughout the day. WEST TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY STUDENT TEACHERS ARE GIVEN THE DAY OFF IN ORDER TO ATTEND THE JOB FAIR We will begin at 9:00 AM and be 'open to the public' until 12:30 PM. Space will then be available for use through the afternoon to conduct one on one interviews with promising candidates. PLEASE NOTIFY US IF YOU PLAN TO STAY AND INTERVIEW so we can make room arrangements. What makes WTAMU's Educator's EXPO an exceptional recruiting tool is that in addition to our students, we invite senior Education students from area universities such as Eastern New Mexico, Wayland Baptist, Oklahoma Panhandle State and Southwestern Oklahoma State. We encourage our undergraduate education majors from West Texas A&M University to attend the EXPO in order to network, find out more about the world of education and to help them make occupational choices. We feel that this is a mutually beneficial contact for both the school district and the student and are pleased to offer this opportunity. Reception Details: BACK THIS YEAR!!! Pre-Fair Networking Reception! Together with the College of Education and Social Sciences, we are planning an event for the Tuesday evening before the EXPO to bring together school district recruiters, education faculty and our Spring 2011 student teachers.
