The Hawaii State Department of Education (DOE) will be on an out-of-state recruitment trip in your state on March 30th and March 31st. We will be hosting a mini-job fair in the San Diego area and would love if you could share this news and the following information with your alumni and soon-to-be graduates!
Our 2019 out-of-state recruitment job fair schedule can be found at bit.ly/RecruitHIDOE. Individuals can visit this site for more information about all the cities we will be visiting, when we will be visiting them, and what to do if they are interested in attending and meeting with a representative.
In addition, we are pleased to announce that we have limited funding to provide a one-time, taxable relocation bonus for eligible individuals who are recruited from out-of-state and hired for the upcoming 2019-2020 school year.
