Get Set for Impact: Join a Team That Delivers Futures

Can I borrow 30 seconds?

When we speak to people thinking about roles like this, they often tell us they’re:

• Frustrated when Essential Skills teaching doesn’t connect with real-life learning.

• Disappointed when learners don’t gain confidence in applying English, Maths, or ICT skills outside the classroom.

• Unsure how to make their teaching directly change lives and futures.

I get the impression none of these apply to you?
They do? Thought so. Well, I’ve had my 30 seconds. Give me a minute more and read on…
