Abstract	The Board of Education in Toronto, Canada, has adopted equal employment policies and plans to increase the number of racial minorities employed by the school system. To determine the success of these actions the Board collected post-employment data in 1986. The following findings are reported: (1) most applicants for positions were not currently employed by the Board; (2) newspapers were the major source of job information; (3) the proportion of visible minorities who sought appointments was consistent with estimates of these minorities in the local population; (4) blacks were the largest group to respond to the survey; (5) the largest white minority groups to respond were of English, Irish, or Scottish backgrounds; (6) the visible racial minority respondents had more formal education and more specialist qualifications than did other groups; (7) the proportion of visible minorities who applied was larger than the percentage hired for positions as cleaners, educational assistants, and clerks; (8) the proportion of visible minorities who sought mobility within the system is larger than those who obtained promotions and transfers; and (9) male and female candidates tended to apply for sex-stereotyped positions. Statistical data are presented in 13 tables and 6 appendices. (VM)
