On Saturday, Feb. 1, more than 200 job seekers attended the Georgia Charter Schools Association’s 2025 Charter School Job Fair at KIPP Atlanta Collegiate in Atlanta. Attendees had the opportunity to connect with 20 metro Atlanta charter schools and charter school networks.
The candidate pool was highly qualified, with more than 36 percent holding a Master’s degree or higher and 62 percent having worked in education for four years or more.
“The GCSA job fair had the highest caliber of candidates of any job fair I’ve been to in 16 years as an educator,” said Scott Carpenter, Founding Head of Schools for Fayette Classical Academy.
In addition to meeting with charter school hiring teams, job fair attendees were able take advantage of professional headshots, résumé writing workshops, and career coaching.
