Step Into Teaching - for graduates

The Step Into Teaching Programme provides fantastic opportunities for graduates to ‘earn as you learn' – Yes, that means you earn a salary while you gain experience working in an actual classroom!

On top of earning money, you will get personal development opportunities and learn transferable skills. Teach a subject you are enthusiastic about and lead from the front. Benefit from teaching as part of an experienced team (delivery of focus intervention groups) and on your own.

You will learn how to prepare and plan for lessons to the curriculum, build positive relationships with school staff, pupils and parents and get involved in extracurricular activities.

As a PGCE post compulsory graduate, I was looking for a new route moving from Further Education into Secondary Education. All I can say is that I am glad that I took the leap and decided to join with Step into Teaching. Since the beginning of my journey I have been working with Neil who has provided the most honest and professional experience. Neil arranged for a school viewing and has acted as the go-to person between myself and the school to ensure that I had the best, stress-free experience whilst looking for my "forever school". A decision that will not be regretted.
