Education Workforce Job Fairs
Developing, supporting and sustaining a high-quality, prepared and collaborative education workforce is a high priority of the Michigan Department of Education (MDE). That’s why in 2021, we’re hosting three virtual Education Workforce Job Fairs to connect job seekers and those hiring teachers, substitute teachers, bus drivers, custodians, paraprofessionals, secretaries, administrators, and other education-related positions.
Upcoming 2021 Education Workforce Job Fair Dates
- June 16, 2021
- August 4, 2021
About the 2021 Job Fairs
For the 2021 job fairs, we are pleased to announce a partnership with the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO). This new partnership will leverage LEO’s expertise in hosting virtual job fairs to ensure a smoother, more robust experience for both employers and job seekers, by utilizing a new platform, Brazen, to ensure Michigan can continue to meet the demands of employers and job seekers – virtually! Please note: Brazen works best with the Google Chrome web browser, so please download the latest version prior to participating.
Information for Job-Seekers
Job-seekers can virtually connect with school districts from across the state. Registration is free, and allows job-seekers upload a resume to the platform.
- Registration information for the June 16 virutal job fair will open in Spring 2021.
- Attending an event
- Learn how chat events work
- Brazen help center

Information for Employers
Employers will each be given a “virtual booth” at no cost. Districts who were not selected for the March 3 job fair have been added to a waitlist and will receive priority registration for the June and August dates. Registration for the June 16 job fair opens in Spring 201.
Signing up as an employer gives you access to:
- Highlighting the mission & benefits of your school or organization
- Summarizing your current job opportunities & programs
- Posting a video about your school or organization
- Chatting with job seekers
Following registration, the booth owner will receive additional information about status on the waiting list or about setting up the booth and adding representatives.
- Booth owners: See how information will be presented in your booth
- Representatives: Participate as a representative
- Brazen help center
Registration is free but is considered a commitment to attend as there is a limit on the number of available booths. If you need to cancel, please contact Shelby Lee at LeeS11@Michigan.gov. Please note, because these job fairs utilize a new platform, registrations do not carry over from previous job fairs, including the Fall 2020 event. Job providers will need to re-register for the 2021 education work force job fairs.
