Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The Taster Day was a great introduction into what the Teach First Training programme would involve. It was a women in leadership session so had multiple talks from inspiring women and some who were alumni of the Teach First training programme. There were sessions about learning key teaching skills as well as how to network well and efficiently.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Was very interesting as it allowed me to evaluate whether the training programme is something I would like to take part in and I am positive I would like to since attending the taster day.
Additionally, I was able to understand the support networks within the Teach First company and I understand they are a supportive and welcoming business.
