Success story
Discover how Zen secured qualified educators to fill critical Special Education gaps across 90 schools.
At the start of the 2023-2024 school year, this Colorado school district encountered substantial shortages within their Special Education departments, particularly in the recruitment of Severe Needs Educational Assistants.
Despite implementing strategies such as radio advertisements, participation in career fairs, and utilizing other services, the district faced challenges in garnering a sufficient number of applicants, with many of those received often lacking the necessary qualifications.
The Zen team conducted individualized consultations with schools to assess their requirements and initiate the placement of qualified educational assistants.
Within one month, our efforts facilitated successful placements at four high-need schools, achieving the remarkable accomplishment of securing five candidates for a single school within a two-week timeframe.
The school district chose to expand its collaboration with Zen encompassing the placement of our candidates into long-term positions within their 90 schools.
In a span of one month, we facilitated the placement of 10 candidates, progressively enabling schools to achieve full staffing levels and helping their students get the support they need.
