The Taking Teaching Further programme aims to support FE providers to recruit highly-skilled professionals to retrain as FE teachers to deliver high-quality, work-relevant skills training – particularly in T Levels and apprenticeships. Up to £18,200 in grant funding is available to providers over 2 financial years per eligible recruit. Funding is provided to cover:
- the cost of undertaking a teaching qualification – a level 5 Diploma in Education and Training (DET), or higher
- costs of additional teacher time to provide the recruit with intensive support – for example through team teaching, work shadowing and mentoring arrangements
- costs to cover the recruit having a reduced teaching timetable over the 2 years of the programme
TTF 2023 registrations are now open. FE providers can register until 30 November 2023, and successfully registered providers can register recruits until 31 January 2024. Click here for more.
