Host a teacher for a day!
OFSTED recommends that ALL teachers should have the opportunity
to learn more about business and the workplace. Be it the financial
sector, the leisure industry, construction or the Arts.
Could you host a teacher? Companies benefit from the experience
too! That’s why we are able to arrange placements for around
300 teachers every year!
HOW DO PLACEMENTS WORK?
Our Professional Development Manager works closely with teachers
in Liverpool to establish their areas of interest and then
sources companies who are willing to host one or even a group
of teachers
for a day.
Normally the placement is related to the teacher’s subject
area. For example, Food Technology teachers may wish to be placed
with a Food Manufacturer, or Science teachers may find it useful
to spend the day in a Chemical Plant. However, some teachers prefer
to spend their placement focusing on management practices in industry.
They may look at appraisal systems, management techniques or training
and development within a company.
We then negotiate a convenient date for a placement and
suggest a programme for the day.
