Aspiring teachers from Bradford are being encouraged to attend a roadshow when it comes to The Great Victoria Hotel on Thursday.

Visitors to the the Train to Teach event, organised by the National College for Teaching and Leadership will be able to meet representatives from schools and universities that provide teacher training, gain insights into how to make a strong application, and receive one-to-one advice from current teachers and teaching experts.

The event will also showcase the financial support available to trainees, and provide information on the competitive starting salaries, as well as the rewards that teaching has to offer.

Roger Pope, Chair of the NCTL, an executive agency of the Department for Education that provides a comprehensive programme of support for aspiring teachers, said: “Good teachers are in demand and there are excellent employment prospects. The generous bursaries and scholarships available this year mean more talented graduates will be able to teach the subject they love.

“This event isn’t only for new graduates – every year, we see people from other sectors who switch to teaching, bringing a wealth of experience to help inspire the next generation.

The free event is being held at The Great Victoria Hotel from 4:30 to 8pm.
