Jacksonville, Florida,  April 15, 2022 –  The Child Care And Early Educator Job Fair will be held on Saturday, April 23, from 9 a.m. to noon at the CareerSource Northeast Florida (CareerSource NEFL) Gateway Career Center, 5000 Norwood Avenue, Suite #2, and Florida State College at Jacksonville, 11901 Beach Boulevard, Building G.  The Job Fair will be held at two locations at the same time.

“The Job Fair is a great opportunity for individuals interested in working in the child care industry to be connected with local early learning providers,” said Denise Marzullo, President, and CEO of the Early Learning Coalition of Duval. 

The Child Care and Early Educator Job Fair is a partnership between the Early Learning Coalition of Duval, CareerSource NEFL, Florida State College at Jacksonville, and the Duval Early Learning Directors Network (DELDN).  

Child care providers actively seek committed, hardworking, and enthusiastic employees to immediately fill available positions.   Job seekers are encouraged to bring copies of their resume and dress professionally for possible on-site interviews with potential employers.  If candidates cannot attend, they can complete a job application at www.elcduval.org/job-fair/ and email it to jobfair@elcduval.org.

With people returning to the office, the need for quality educators and child care professionals is on the rise.  Many local providers seek qualified applicants to fill vacant full and part-time positions.  Our goal is to connect job seekers with potential employers in the early learning industry.
