RALEIGH, N.C. — People interested in moving their careers into the classroom attended a fair at Wake Technical Community College on Thursday.

Seven hundred people attended the 2009 Lateral Entry Teacher Information Fair, which discussed the requirements for getting a teaching job in Wake County schools.

Organizers said the economy played a role in the high turnout for the event. Last year’s event had about 350 people.

Wake Tech now offers a program to earn a teaching certificate in about a year.
