PLEASANT HILL, Calif., — Contra Costa County Office of Education (CCCOE) is hosting its annual countywide Spring Job Fair on Saturday, February 24, 2024, at Pleasant Hill Middle School in Pleasant Hill from 9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Representatives from more than 20 school districts, charter schools, and colleges will be offering on-the-spot interviews for current and 2024-2025 school year positions. University representatives will also be available to offer information about credential programs for candidates interested in furthering their education.
“CCCOE’s annual job fair is an opportunity for teachers and administrators to learn about employment openings available in communities across our county,” Superintendent of Schools Lynn Mackey said. “This event happens once a year and is where candidates can meet dozens of school leaders and district decision makers all in one place. While a job description may look one way online, meeting passionate site leaders and human resources professionals in-person makes a huge difference when job hunting.”
According to research, school staffing shortages still challenge public schools across the state and throughout the nation, especially in underserved communities. Educators in all stages of their careers are in demand to fill positions at schools throughout Contra Costa County. Job opportunities include full-time teaching positions, certificated support staff, higher education openings, and substitute positions with competitive compensation offers. Applicants are encouraged to be prepared for onsite interviews and sign-on bonus offers for hard-to-fill positions.
Those interested in attending the Job Fair can fill out an interest form. For additional details about this free event, contact Morgan Broshar at (925) 942-3489.

About Contra Costa County Office of Education
One of 58 counties in California, Contra Costa County (CCCOE) has the 11th largest public-school student population in the state (approximately 169,225 students). Officially established in 1932, CCCOE has a long history of providing direct services to some of our county’s most vulnerable students, including young people who are incarcerated, homeless, or in foster care, as well as students who have severe physical or emotional challenges.
CCCOE also provides support services to schools and school districts in Contra Costa County; services that can be handled most effectively and economically on a regional basis rather than by each of the county’s 286 schools or 18 school districts. These services range from budget approval and fiscal support to technology infrastructure, communication support, and high-level professional development opportunities for educators. CCCOE maintains a website at www.cocoschools.org
