A statewide recruitment event for Florida teaching jobs will be held online this year.
The Great Florida Teach-In will be conducted this Wednesday via the Internet. Although the event is usually held in a large conference center, allowing teachers to be interviewed for vacancies on the spot, increasing costs and fewer vacancies has forced the event to go virtual.
Through the Web, teaching candidates and employers will be able to conduct real-time interviews by communicating via instant messaging, telephone and e-mail. Job seekers will be able to upload resumes, transcripts and teaching certificates, as well as download employer information. During its first 24 years, the even brought in about 2,000 job applicants.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is helping to support many Florida environmental jobs.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration received $167 million in federal economic stimulus money. The State of Florida will see a portion of that, which will be used for ecological projects, including 12,000 corals to be grown to expand reef populations in degraded areas. The projects, which will be overseen by the Nature Conservancy, will create 57 jobs.
Part of the funding will be used to help coral reefs along Florida’s southern coast and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Specifically, $3.3 million will help expand four existing nurseries of staghorn and elkhorn coral and establish two new coral nurseries, according to an article by the Miami Herald.

Two area hospitals are expanding and helping to create Florida medical jobs.
Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach and Florida Hospital’s Memorial Medical center in Ormond Beach are already two of the area’s biggest employers, but both are planning expansions that will create several new jobs, according to an article by WFTV. This is another sign that the healthcare industry is continuing to thrive in many places despite the current economic recession.
Florida Hospital’s Memorial Medical center includes 12 stories, 277 beds and all-private rooms on a 135-acre spot. The center, which has been in the making for nine years, will open in July. The new facility will help to create 100 new jobs. The hospital expects to see rapid growth in its emergency department and surgical suites.

A project involving creation of the First Coast Outer Beltway could help create tens of thousands of Florida construction jobs.
Gov. Charlie Crist recently signed legislation that will allow Florida Department of Transportation officials to move forward with the project. However, it’s thought that the project could still be years from starting, according to an article by Jacksonville.com. Once started, the project is estimated to create 30,000 jobs.
The DOT delayed the project last year because it was unsure whether or not the stat would charge property taxes on the land. Because the state doesn’t have money to build the road, it wants to hire a private contractor to build and maintain it. Costs would be recovered by charging tolls.
