DEGREE holders are invited to find out more about life as a teacher at a special postgraduate open evening at the University of Worcester.
The event, on Wednesday June 3, is aimed at people already planning a career in education, and anyone considering a career change who wants to explore their options.
Visitors will have the opportunity to speak directly to academic staff, ask questions about teacher training routes, and find out what studying for a Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) really involves.
Dr Rachael Paige, Head of Institute of Education, University of Worcester, said: “Sometimes people think they do not have the relevant prior experience or qualifications, or that teaching isn’t for them, because they didn’t plan to become a teacher at the start of their career.”
“In reality, there are so many transferable skills,” she said. “If you enjoy learning, working with young people, and making a difference, teaching could absolutely be an option for you.”
The event, which runs from 6pm until 8pm, will be informal and welcoming, with no obligation to apply.
