BUDDING teachers can head to south Birmingham this weekend to find out more about the profession.
The national teacher recruitment campaign is coming to Edgbaston Cricket Ground from 10am to 4pm tomorrow (Saturday) in a bid to enlighten aspiring teachers on what the career entails.
Visitors will be able to have all their questions answered such as starting salaries and employment prospects, along with the financial support available.
Representatives from schools and universities will be on hand to talk about teacher training, offer insights into how to make a strong application, and receive one-to-one advice from experts.
Applications for teacher training starting in September 2018 are now open and popular courses fill up fast.
Roger Pope, spokesperson for the Get Into Teaching campaign and Chair of the National College for Teaching and Leadership, said: “Good teachers are in demand and the career provides excellent employment prospects with the opportunity to progress quickly.
“Alongside the generous bursaries and scholarships on offer, we provide a comprehensive programme of support to help people become teachers.
“The Train to Teach roadshow in Birmingham isn’t only for graduates – every year, we see people from other sectors switching to teaching, bringing a wealth of experience to help inspire the next generation.”
