Our Hiring Incentives, Bursaries and Grants
At Lakeland Catholic School Division, we take pride in the incredible opportunities for new and current teaching staff. Our division has developed Hiring Incentives, Bursaries and Grants for new teachers, which are outlined below.
Effective January 17, 2024, Lakeland Roman Catholic Separate School Division provides a range of incentives to support teachers who are newly hired with the Division. These incentives are intended to help offset costs related to education, relocation, and the transition into teaching with Lakeland Catholic.
Unless otherwise specified, each incentive may only be accessed once for the duration of an individual’s employment with the Division and is not available to individuals who have previously been employed by Lakeland Roman Catholic Separate School Division in any teaching capacity.
Eligible individuals will be contacted by the Division’s Human Resources Department and provided with an incentive agreement outlining the applicable terms and conditions. If you believe you may be eligible for an incentive and have not been contacted, please reach out to Kayla Collins, Manager of Human Resources at: kcollins@lrcssd.ca for further information.
