    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • I took part in the Women in Leadership learning about Teach First’s involvement with disadvantaged schools and the manifesto. We also explored the graduate programme along with essential skills it teaches. There was lots of chance for us to give our own ideas and discussion.

    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • Really interesting to explore options within Teach First and whether the programme was right for me. I like how because it was a taster programme they explored other options and had an ambassador who had done Teach First and how those skills allowed her to progress to a role of leadership within her current career.
