Funding to recruit FE teachers from industry
The latest round of funding of the Taking Teaching Further programme will help recruit over 160 new FE teachers that have come from industry.
The funding from the £5 million Taking Teaching Further programme will support 45 further education providers to recruit experienced industry professionals from sectors such as digital, engineering and construction, to work in the classroom.
The Government is also providing more than £900,000 to support 22 innovative projects to look at ways to improve the link between further education providers and industry so students are learning the skills and knowledge that employers require.
Apprenticeships and Skills Minister, Anne Milton said: "Teaching in further education is an incredibly rewarding career. We are reforming technical education in this country with the introduction of new T Levels and we want more staff with industry skills to pass on their expertise and inspire the next generation.
"I’m thrilled to announce the second round of providers who will be offered funding to help over 160 industry professionals to become FE teachers.
"We’ve already seen fantastic stories of success. The fund has supported 47 new teachers and 19 innovative projects to date. I am looking forward to more teachers joining the profession to inspire, energise and bring on the next generation of highly-skilled young people."
