Train to Teach - Middlesbrough

A national recruitment campaign is coming to Middlesbrough to encourage local people to consider joining a unique profession that shapes the lives of the next generation.

Anyone interested in finding out more about the benefits and rewards of teaching can visit the Train to Teach event at Jurys Inn on Thursday 27 February from 4.30pm to 7.30pm.

In the last academic year almost 9,000 people attended the Train to Teach events, which are organised across different towns and cities by the national Get Into Teaching campaign, from the Department for Education.

The latest recruitment drive is being supported by local teachers who will be on hand to share their experiences of the variety and fulfilment they get from working in modern schools today. 

At the event, experienced teacher training advisors will be on hand to guide aspiring teachers through the training options and next steps. Representatives from schools and universities that provide teacher training will also be there with insights into how to make a strong application.

Information will be available about the latest financial support people could receive to train, and the opportunities for career progression. You could receive a £26,000 tax-free bursary to train as a teacher and newly-qualified teachers start on a minimum starting salary of £24,000 to £30,000, depending on location.

Registration in advance is advisable but visitors can turn up and register on the day.

Applications for teacher training, starting in September 2020, are now open.
