Participants will gain a deeper understanding of Gen Z and the characteristics that drive their career decision-making. This will be followed by a deeper look into the unique interests of students majoring in education programs, including:

• Who are the next generation of teachers? How do they differ from millennials?
• What are their career goals?
• How will they choose their next opportunity?
• What do students value in a prospective employer?

Having developed a better understanding of prospective teachers, participants will look at what they have to offer.

• What is an employer brand and how does it affect recruitment into your school district?
• What is the Employer Value Proposition (EVP) that your school district offers prospective hires?
• How can a school district connect and convey its offers to persuade the right candidates to accept?

The first session will wrap up with an evaluation of your current recruitment practices to help you prioritize your time and resources.

Day Two

The second session will begin with a deeper discussion of the key challenges identified in the evaluation process. Participants will discuss how they can prioritize their efforts and implement changes that will increase hiring success.

Participants will use these insights to develop an effective messaging plan to create interest among prospects.

• How to adapt to hiring programs for virtual recruiting
• How to initiate a connection through first impressions
• How to engage candidates through impactful stories

The final segment of the program will focus on 10 key strategies for engaging with candidates more effectively in the 2020s.

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!
