The Western NY TRD is an in-person interview and job fair event.
What is TRD?
The Western NY Teacher Recruitment Day (TRD) is the single largest opportunity you will have to network and interview with local, national, and international schools. By participating in TRD, you have the opportunity to interview with school representatives for real openings. TRD is an in-person event, and candidates will register via the CareerEco platform.
Please note: CareerEco is a virtual recruiting platform that WNY TRD has contracted with to host our in-person event for the last several years.

Answers to common questions about TRD:
I registered for the Western NY TRD on CareerEco, how do I know if I am approved?
If a candidate is unclear about their registration status, please login to your CareerEco account. Under the “My Events” tab, you should see a logo and link for “Western NY Teacher Recruitment Day”.
I haven’t heard from any schools/recruiters about interviews, what should I do?
School representatives will select candidates to interview, and candidates will receive an email inviting them to select an interview time. Candidates should monitor their email on a regular basis. If a candidate is invited for an interview, the candidate must login to their CareerEco account and schedule an interview time or decline the interview. We recommend that, if selected for an interview, you reserve your time slot as soon as possible as they are first-come, first-serve.
You can still attend TRD and participate in the open networking session. During that session, you will be able to inquire with recruiters about interviews.
If a candidate chooses to decline or cancel an interview, that interview slot will be open for the employer to invite an additional candidate.
Please be sure to check your email prior to the event.
If I am invited to interview with an organization, how do I schedule a time?
