Gwinnett County school officials have scheduled a job fair this Saturday for those interested in teaching in the state’s largest public school district.

The job fair will be from 8 a.m. to noon at the Gwinnett Infinite Energy Center, 6400 Sugarloaf Pkwy in Duluth. To register for the job fair, go to www.gcpsjobs.org.

Gwinnett has typically looked for teachers in math, science and special education.

Several school districts have held job fairs or have plans to soon host one. Cobb County has scheduled two job fairs next week.
