New business initiative to encourage more to join the teaching profession
July 9, 2008
A new scheme called Transition to Teaching is set to make positive links between the business community and the teaching profession. This scheme will hopefully increase the number of new teachers in a time when the profession is struggling to recruit in some subjects, as well as raise the profile of businesses in order to increase the numbers of skilled candidates available in the future. A number of large organisations have already pledged support to the scheme including BT and IBM.
This is a fantastic scheme. Having had quite a lot of academic experience as a pupil/student, I’ve always thought that the best teachers are the ones that have had some ‘life’ experience i.e. those that haven’t gone from their own education straight back into educating others. The teaching profession is now seeing many new applications from ‘career changers’, i.e. those who have worked in an industry for many years and feel the need for a new direction. With this scheme, those people will find this route easier with the support of their employers, and more career changers will be able to follow their dreams of changing their career later on. Companies involved will be able to enhance their reputation as employers of choice within their own workforce and within the labour market of the future.
