RESULTS:
Data reflecting the number of employees by cultural/ethnic background was collected for the 2001-02 service year. During this year,
6.7% of all employees identified themselves as non-white. As of the 2006-07 service year, 8.5% of the total employee population
considered themselves non-white.
2006-07 Career Fair Outcomes
The total number of candidates participating in the Career Fair for Culturally and Ethnically Diverse Educators increased by 59.0% in
the 2006-07 service-year (compared to the 2005-06 service year).
2007-08 Career Fair Outcomes
The career fair registration format was revised for the 2007-08 service year. In addition to accepting walk-in applicants, an online
registration system was implemented this year, enabling ESBOCES to pre-schedule candidates for job interviews with participating
school districts weeks before the fair. Because the prescheduled appointments allowed for tight scheduling, some districts managed
to interview as many as 95 candidates, while none interviewed fewer than 23.
