Cumberland County Schools hosts job fair, looking to fill 80 teaching positions
Cumberland County hosted a recruitment fair in Owen Elementary School on Tuesday, trying to attract more teachers, cafeteria workers and custodians to work in Cumberland County Schools.
Posted — UpdatedSherald Thompson is one of the many people who came to the job fair on Tuesday. She said that COVID-19 sidelined her from her job with Hoke County Schools. But after a year she's been able to bounce back, and moved to Cumberland County for work.
Thompson is looking for a job as a Physician Assistant, a professional care assistant, or a permanent substitute.
The school system has 80 teaching positions to fill before school starts on Aug. 23.
"We have about 80 positions in the classified personnel," said Dr. Lillian McDavid, certified personnel supervisor for Cumberland County Schools. "We need custodial, we need prime time workers, we need bus drivers, we need child nutrition workers."
Officials said that 40 people applied for jobs on Tuesday, and 80 people applied for jobs last Thursday.
Two more job fairs will be held over the next two days:
- Wednesday, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Walmart on 3030 N. Main Street in Hope Mills
- Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Reid Ross Classical School on 3200 Ramsey Street in Fayetteville
