GET INTO TEACHING EVENTS COME TO YORKSHIRE AND THE HUMBER
Programme of free events for people curious about teaching as a career and those ready to step into the classroom
A free Get Into Teaching event is coming to Yorkshire and the Humber to encourage people to think about a career in the classroom and to find out more about life as a teacher. The event is open to everyone, including those looking to make a career switch later in life.
The event, from 5pm to 8pm on Tuesday 28th November at First Direct Arena, Arena Way, Leeds, LS2 8BY, will be packed with information and advice on the steps to becoming a teacher.
The Get Into Teaching Yorkshire and the Humber event will include opportunities to talk to training providers about courses they offer, find out how to apply for teacher training, explore what funding is available, and connect with others interested in teaching. Information will also be available about how to fund your training – tax-free bursaries of up to £28,000 to train as a teacher are available in selected subjects.
The free Get Into Teaching event aims to inspire more people in the area to join an exciting and varied profession that helps shape the lives of the next generation. It is part of a programme of events taking place in different locations across England this autumn, organised by Get Into Teaching, which offers free advice and support for those thinking about teaching and for those ready to apply.

Post-graduate teacher training typically lasts one year, with new trainees starting courses each September. Applications to train from next year opened 10th October 2023.
