Queen’s University (Queen’s) and Search Associates (SEARCH) are uniting their strengths to enhance the aspirations of Queen’s education graduates and alums by working closely on the upcoming SEARCH Toronto Fair, scheduled for February 10-11, 2024.

Queen’s University, renowned for its unwavering commitment to education excellence, has aligned with SEARCH, a global leader in teacher recruitment. This collaboration goes beyond a simple partnership; it underscores Queen’s commitment to ensuring their students and alumni have access to a credible and trusted organization to guide them in pursuing their dreams of teaching abroad.

Queen’s has a long history of producing outstanding international educators who have gone on to lead in schools worldwide. Many alumni hold leadership positions in international schools and attend the Toronto Fair to recruit exceptional educators for the next school year. Dr. Robert Sims, Head of the Bonn International School, Queen’s alum, and a recruiter with both SEARCH and Queen’s shares his excitement about the collaboration:

“As a Queen’s alumnus and long-running recruiter with both SEARCH and Queen’s, let me just say how happy I am to see this partnership.”

Graduating Queen’s students, Queen’s alumni, experienced teachers from across Canada, neighboring U.S. states, and international candidates worldwide are all encouraged to register for the Toronto Fair. Gary shares his enthusiasm,

“This collaboration represents a remarkable opportunity for Search Associates to broaden its impact within the Canadian education community. Aligning with Queen’s marks a significant milestone and offers new horizons for Queen’s graduates.”
