Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The taster session of the interview involved participating in activities where we discussed the inequalities within education and what measures can be taken to solve these issues. Each session centred around developing the competencies and skills required to work effectively at Teach First. These included debates, planning and delivering a mini lesson and coming up with our own solutions to issues in education
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was a really good experience as the recruitment team delivered session which enabled us to see what were the next steps forward in terms of gaining further experience.
