The Poughkeepsie City School District will host a job recruitment fair this Saturday (March 22) at the Jane Bolin Administration Building on South Perry Street. The event aims to fill various positions within the district, including substitute teaching assistants, health aides, bus drivers, school monitors, and food service workers.
To attract more applicants, the district has increased salaries for teaching assistants by 10 percent and raised pay rates for health aides by two dollars per hour. The fair is open to all residents looking for employment opportunities, and attendees are encouraged to bring their resumes.
This initiative comes as part of the district's efforts to address staffing shortages and ensure that students receive the support they need. The event offers a chance for community members to join the educational workforce and contribute to the local school system.
For those interested in participating, the fair will begin in the morning, and everyone is welcome to attend. This is an opportunity for job seekers to explore a variety of roles and potentially secure a position within the district.
