Teacher Career Fairs

Iowa State Teachers College

UNI is proud of our rich teacher education program. Since 1876, UNI has been the school for teacher training in Iowa, with our school previously named Iowa State Teacher College. As an extension, schools from around the world come to Cedar Falls every year to recruit our top graduates!  

UNI is home to two large recruiting events:

  1. UNI Teacher Fair 
    This fair occurs in the Spring semester each year and traditionally hosts nearly 100 schools from across the state, region, and nation. Whether you are a new or soon-to-be graduate looking for that first teaching position or a pre-student teaching student building your network, the UNI Teacher Fair is for you. All teaching students are encouraged to attend! 
     
  2. UNI Overseas Teacher Services
    Offering services since 1976, the University of Northern Iowa Overseas Teaching Services (OTS), connects American international K-12 schools with educators. UNI Overseas Teaching Services is excited to host a robust database and the world's oldest in-person international recruitment fair!
