WEBINAR

After years of disruption, hiring in education is entering a new phase in 2026. Data from thousands of K–12 and higher education institutions shows that applicant interest is rebounding, competition per role is rising, and more candidates are intentionally choosing education for its purpose, stability, and long-term impact.

In this webinar, we’ll break down the five hiring trends shaping education recruitment in 2026, using real application and job-posting data introduced in NEOED’s 2026 Education Hiring Report, The Promise of Purpose. You’ll learn: 

• Why demand is shifting back toward education employers
• How brand trust and mission are driving higher conversion rates
• Where talent shortages still persist
• Which roles present the greatest strategic opportunity – or risk

Kick off the new year with a value-packed event that will help education leaders move beyond short-term hiring fixes and toward intentional, data-informed workforce strategies – and turn renewed interest from purpose-driven candidates into a lasting promise of commitment.
