The Education Desk


The Education Desk is the central point of contact for anyone considering a career in education. We offer:

  • understanding the different routes to becoming a teacher or another teaching position
  • personal advice on what suits your background and experience
  • help in finding information sessions, trial days or internships
  • guidance during your transition to teaching

We take time for your questions, concerns and ambitions. Together, we consider what steps are needed to make your educational dream a reality.

Working together on solutions to the teacher shortage
In addition to supporting potential lateral entrants, we work with schools, municipalities, training institutes and other regional partners to find sustainable solutions for people who want to redirect or enrich their current careers. In this way, we pull out all the stops to maximise the power of professionals who want to work for the future of our young people.

Experience whether teaching is for you?
Visit an information evening, be inspired by stories of lateral entrants and discover the opportunities in our region. Whether you come from healthcare, engineering, business services or a completely different sector, your experience is valuable.
