When
graduation is just around the corner, seniors
and graduate students in the College of
Education need to have a clear idea of what
their choices are in the job market.
The Los Angeles Unified School District
will be among the many organizations present
at the Job Fair today. The LAUSD will be
offering, internships and full- and part-time
positions. The LAUSD is
looking for qualified and motivated teacher
candidates. Teachers for all areas are welcome
to apply but there is a great demand for
math and special education.
Educational Career Services Director Judi
Walker said that the College of Education
has a liberal studies degree, which students
work on if they are planning to be elementary
teachers, but most people come to this college
already having different degrees.
“If you want to teach math or English, you
need to have a degree in math or English
in order to obtain a single subject teaching
credential,” Walker said.
Undergraduate Miwa Kanako, who knows where
to go after getting her psychology degree,
feels that it is good for undecided students
to have many options.
“I think it is wonderful for students to
have the option of looking into other areas
after getting your baccalaureate degree,”
she said.
Educational Career Services helps
students, as they finish their credential
and to look for job opportunities, Walker
said.
“Actually, there are a lot of job opportunities
for teachers, in general. But science, math
and special education are probably the most
in demand,” she said.
