Perhaps you’re an engineer. Or a social worker. Or a lawyer, or a care worker, or an accountant. You’ve worked in your industry for a number of years and now you’re thinking about a change. Maybe you’d like to share your skills with the next generation, reinvigorate your enthusiasm for the job, or even just move away from unsociable working hours. If any of those apply, then a career in further education (FE) teaching could be for you.
The beauty of teaching in FE is that it doesn’t have to be all or nothing: you can even teach alongside your current job. The skills you’ve honed over many years will be of just as much value in your new role, as the knowledge gained in industry is an integral part of the job.
