Still time to make that career change into Secondary Education Teaching.
The Highland Council is delighted to be working with the University of Dundee and the University of the Highlands and Islands to support Highland-based people who are interested in a career move to gain both their PGDE and complete their induction year within 18 months.
Following an earlier event in June, Highland Council and the University of Dundee and University of the Highlands and Islands are hosting a second information evening on Tuesday 14 August 2018 from 5:30pm - 7pm at the University of Highlands and Islands, Inverness College, Inverness Campus IV2 5NA. This is aimed at people thinking about a career change into secondary teaching.
This new route into teaching has now been fully accredited by the General Teaching Council Scotland.
