Graduate Support at i-teachers
We are an Education Recruitment Consultancy established in 2016 with an aim to support teachers with their long-term careers and help kick-start the teaching careers of passionate graduates across the country. There are so many options when it comes to teaching that it can be confusing choosing which path to take. It can also be quite difficult to get on to teacher training programmes without prior experience working in a school, and you might not want to commit to a career in teaching without experiencing life as a teacher. This is where i-teachers come in with our fantastic graduate support programme!
