ABOUT MERC
For 36 years, MERC has provided a vehicle for dynamic collaboration between Massachusetts colleges and universities and school system nationwide. Each year, we come together to provide networking opportunities for students and alumni of our respective colleges and universities.
The benefits for school personnel are tremendous. In one day, recruiters are able to connect with candidates in the field of education from 35-40 Massachusetts institutions of higher learning, both public and private. Our fair format provides the utmost in flexibility for networking, on-site interviews, information sharing and visibility.
Recruiters are encouraged to leverage even more during their trip by joining our sister consortium, the Rhode Island Consortium for Education or RICE, for their statewide fair scheduled for Wednesday, April 21, 2010 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Warwick RI.
Reviews of MERC are always positive. Two of our long-time partners offer their views!

"MERC has been instrumental in continuing the valuable connections with various colleges and universities teacher preparation programs which has greatly enhanced our recruitment efforts. We have been attending the MERC Job Fair for many years. Not only do we meet potential new hires for the Worcester Public Schools during that day, but it gives us a time to network, connect and strengthen our relationships so we continue to recruit and hire the most qualified teachers so that our students are can succeed and achieve." |

“Many Lesley students attend MERC each year as an important component of their job search. The event saves recruiters, students and alumni a lot of time and money since all the players are in one place at one time. Professionally I have been associated with MERC for a long time and find the partnerships between school recruiters and career professionals very valuable. Networking over lunch is an added bonus to the event.” |
