AI Summary

This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD), in consultation with the Department of Education (DOE), to establish and maintain a database of "novice teachers" (teachers eligible to work under a certificate of eligibility or certificate of eligibility with advanced standing but without a provisional certificate) that will be available to school districts and novice teachers to assist in filling staffing vacancies. The bill also requires DOLWD, in consultation with DOE, to hold three job fairs per year, one in each of the northern, central, and southern regions of the state, to assist school districts in filling staffing vacancies. The job fairs will be open to novice teachers, individuals enrolled in educator preparation programs, and any other individuals appropriately certified to work in a public school in the state.
