As the summer holidays approach, it's time to start thinking about the best recruitment strategies to fill any vacancies that may arise during this period. ☀️ However, with the number of new entrants to initial teacher training decreasing by 5%, it's understandable to feel a little anxious about recruiting for your next teaching position. Alexander Edwards, Every By IRIS Specialist, and Nic Whelan, Director of Social Media Check, are joining forces to present a webinar that will prepare you with practical tips for getting recruitment ready in time for summer: https://bit.ly/4aKb7p6   #Recruitment #SchoolRecruitment #EducationRecruitment 

This week's 'Thursday's Thought' is for our Parents / Caregivers, and Teachers.. The myfuture website offers a wide range of resources to assist those Students preparing for post-school pathways. As the school year unfolds, and we look towards University and TAFE Open Days, where our Year 12s will look towards possible higher education next year, considering entering the workforce and developing critical workplace skills could also be an option. The ability to articulate what you have to offer an Employer is critical in the job search and recruitment process, and these resources assist you 'tell your story'; on paper and in person. I was once asked by a Parent "Isn't there a risk in taking a gap year?" to which I replied "What's the risk of not taking one?"... Direct entry from Year 12 to TAFE or University is not for all, as each Student is different, and each will find their way; surrounded by support and evidence-based careers information. #athletewellbeingandengagement #gapyear #postyear12pathways #evidencebasedresearch #careers #careerdevelopment #careerpractitioner #highereducation #graduatecareers
