Testimonials
Attending this session gave a deeper perspective into what the current applicant is looking for as they begin their job search for the right school board. The information was interactive and allowed us the time to reflect on our own organization’s recruitment strategies and laid the foundation for the steps, resources and further monitoring we will further engage in. We appreciated the opportunity to hear from Graham Donald who truly has the research, the knowledge and experience to guide recruitment in the field of education. This session is one worth attending!
