South Carolina Teacher Expo
The South Carolina Teacher Expo was a one-day job fair designed to match teacher candidates to current and anticipated district vacancies. The Expo attracted jobseekers from across the United States and several foreign countries. This year's Teacher Expo was FREE and occurred on April 7, 2022 at the South Carolina State Fairgrounds.
The South Carolina Teacher Expo was open to certified teachers, recent college graduates of teacher education programs, and applicants who have applied to and met admission criteria for an approved alternative certification program in South Carolina. The 2022 Expo was open to candidates from all subject areas.
