Get teaching experience while exploring career options - it could be the ticket to your first job. Too many young people aren’t fulfilling their potential at school. We should and can, do better. Pupils from low-income backgrounds are less likely to succeed in the classroom and less likely to go on to university or well-paid jobs. The cycle continues from generation to generation, widening social inequality. It’s a cycle we’re determined to break. Experience teaching and gain key skills By taking part in our Taster Programme, you’ll spend two days learning about Teach First and our mission, whilst developing presentation, communication, and leadership skills. Our experts will host personal development sessions, teach you the skills needed to confidently plan and present a mini lesson, and give you tailored, one-to-one feedback. All while boosting your CV with skills that employers are crying out for.
