Notice Description

Grants are available for school-led partnerships to design and provide teaching internships targeted at undergraduates studying for a degree in STEM-related subjects and languages. The aim of the internships programme is to enable undergraduates studying for a degree in a related subject the opportunity to experience teaching before they commit to it as a career. This programme is part of the Get into Teaching service, supporting prospective teachers through their journey into the profession. To reduce duplication, schools in close proximity are encouraged to work together to submit an application with one lead school responsible for the administration and grant relationship with the Department for Education (DfE). The programme will typically take place towards the end of each academic year around June and July, and internships should last for three weeks. School partnerships are expected to commence recruitment of interns from January onwards. DfE will provide successful school partnerships with standard application forms prior to recruitment commencing, including the minimum level of information required from each applicant and Get into Teaching branding.

This may include: - continued contact with their mentor post programme - support for the intern to make an application for ITT - guarantee of an interview for any ITT places that they apply to your partnership - keep in touch events for interns after the programme is complete All interns should be encouraged to access additional support from the Get into Teaching service, including teacher training advisers.
