Transition to Teaching 2012
Ontario College of Teachers (OCT)
According to the recent survey conducted by the Ontario College of Teachers (2012), more and more new teachers remain unemployed after completing their teacher education than previously.
The Ontario College of Teachers (2012) survey of first-year teachers found that “the unemployment rate rose sharply for the fourth year in a row. More than one in three of the teacher education graduates of 2011 who sought teaching jobs during 2011-12 school year were unemployed. They were actively looking for teaching jobs but could not even find daily supply teaching during the year (p. 3).
