It's time to make a difference – to invest in
changing lives and achieving something
lasting. Energy, intelligence and creativity
can transform the futures of students and
drive up standards in challenging schools
around the UK.
Teach First is a ground-breaking charity
providing the training and support to enable
high-calibre graduates to make a real impact
in addressing one of the UK's most damaging
social issues; educational disadvantage. At
the same time, while they are transforming
the lives of, often socially and economically
disadvantaged, young people in schools
around the country, Teach First helps
graduates to dramatically enhance their
own career potential and become part of a
movement that is effecting profound change
throughout the UK.
Beginning with a six-week intensive summer
institute, Teach First offers an exceptional
leadership development programme focusing
on education, and which includes in its first
year a PGCE qualification. With high-quality
training, supportive coaching and a unique
ambassador offering, Teach First provides a
unique platform of skills and experience that
will prepare graduates for influential careers
in education, industry and commerce, public
service and not-for-profit. Throughout the two
years of the programme participants benefit
from a range of high-quality leadership and
management development opportunities;
from classes and seminars to mentoring and
internships. In just eight years Teach First
has reached 7th place in the prestigious High
Fliers Times Top 100 Graduate Employers
and with a target of over 730 recruits in 2011
it is now one of the UK's largest graduate
recruiters. That's why over 80 companies,
government agencies and public bodies, back
Teach First's ability to effect change and
develop top talent for the future.
By joining Teach First, graduates are literally
changing young people's lives and helping
them to access a different future. It's a bold
claim – but it's happening already in schools
up and down the country where over 2,500
Teach First participants have committed
their energy, ideas and enthusiasm. The
results are startling, drawing praise from all
quarters, including the coalition government,
which announced as one of its first actions,
a massively increased financial commitment
to Teach First to support a major expansion
of its work.
Put simply, graduates who can engage,
manage and inspire a class of underperforming
teenagers can handle pretty well
any situation in any organisation. Few other
options offer the same degree of genuine
responsibility so early. And rarely, if ever,
will graduates have the opportunity to make
such a direct and important impact.
Teach First is a chance to join in, and to stand
out. When it offers so much, the real question
is, ‘Why not Teach First?'
