The Natchitoches Parish Early Childhood Network is hosting an online job fair beginning Aug. 27.
Whether hoping to find a fresh start, a better job, or a new career, job seekers will find a wealth of exciting opportunities working in Early Childhood Education. All local Type III Child Care employers are eager to hire for immediate openings in a wide range of fields.
Staffing is a challenge for any business, but this is perhaps most true for the child care industry. We need to find qualified, responsible candidates who we can trust to care for our young children. Job responsibilities are diverse and challenging however extremely rewarding to those that enjoy education, growth and development in children.
“We are excited at the response we have received from employers who want to participate in this online job fair. This opportunity connects our community’s talented workers with great employers looking to hire. This job fair is a great way to connect with multiple employers by completing one application. The number one goal is to provide and sustain dedicated educators and staff to our youngest learners in this community. Working with these sites will offer higher education opportunities, pay incentives, and the joy of working with children that learn and grow at an extremely fast rate. The work is hard, the hours are long, but the reward is in ensuring children are receiving high quality education and care as they acquire a lifelong love for learning,” said Amy Metoyer-Roberson, City of Natchitoches Early Childhood Coordinator.
This opportunity is open to the entire community and those wishing to relocate to Natchitoches. One application is all you need to submit for employment consideration amongst 9 Child Care Centers.
