A series of jobs, training and volunteering opportunities will take centre stage at Portsmouth Guildhall in a bid to boost employment in the city. Teach Portsmouth, a Portsmouth City Council initiative to recruit the best professionals for the city's schools and academies will welcome people to The Teach Portsmouth Jobs and Opportunities Fair on Monday 22 May from 10am - 2pm.
Located on the first floor, the event will provide people with a range of 'opportunities' tailored to their needs. Exhibitors will include local schools, colleges and academies who will promote non-teaching vacancies as well as training providers offering information on apprenticeships and short courses.
To further extend interest in these roles, TSAT supported a new taster morning scheme. The trial, resulted in a number of candidates from the event being placed in to support roles in our schools across Portsmouth.
Our partnership with Teach Portsmouth continue as TSAT becomes the event's official sponsor.
Stuart Gardner, Chief Executive Officer of the Thinking Schools Academy Trust, stated: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Teach Portsmouth on the Jobs and Opportunities fair, we feel it’s a fantastic way to shine a light on the many exciting and rewarding opportunities within the education sector. We acknowledge the challenges that schools face when recruiting, but by collaborating with partners, we can attract those who want to start their careers in education sooner. We are excited to meet new people and inspire them to explore career opportunities with us."
Those who attend the fair can also visit the Opportunities Room, a space where presentations take place throughout the day. There will be information on apprenticeships and short courses, how to become a teaching assistant, working in a school if you are an international student and flexible jobs in education."
