TRI benefits

The TRI benefits include:

  • A simpler and more efficient way to apply for multiple vacancies in preferred localities.
  • Applicants submit their interest once in the Job Opportunities Pool (attaching a cover letter and a resume), saving the time needed to manage multiple applications.
  • Applicants will then be matched automatically to a school's vacant teaching position.
  • There is no requirement for written responses to Key Selection Criteria (KSC). The KSC will be used to determine suitability as part of the interview stage.
  • Option to deselect schools as required.
  • Receipt of email notifications when vacancies match against preferences.
  • Applicants can track their applications and withdraw when matched to an unsuitable vacancy.
