The Office of School Partnerships (OSP) hosted a career seminar for all future teaching interns in October at the Clearwater campus.  This collaborative event could not have occurred without the partnership of the school districts who host our interns.  The partnerships included Hernando, Pinellas and Hillsborough County School Districts.

Hernando County Principal, Mary Ledoux, from Eastside Elementary School, brought her team to conduct a mock interview.  Final Intern, Anastasia Parent, volunteered to participate in this mock interview.  She reported that this experience really prepared her for upcoming interviews with principals.

Carlmon Jones and Jessica Fisher from Pinellas County Schools provided resume and interviewing tips.  This was extremely helpful to our students, as the majority of

them are interested in working for Pinellas County Schools.

The career seminar’s afternoon consisted of break-out sessions with Hernando, Pinellas and Hillsborough County.  This gave the students an opportunity to compare the districts and evaluate their best employment options.  All districts offer solid benefits for SPC graduates.
