What do these education and teaching employers offer me?

Education and teaching employers are always making sure to offer graduates and students the best possible experience and benefits. This could be the chance to work on real-life projects with a team, teaching you how to bring products or services to life, or, the chance to work alongside a senior member of staff. 

If you’re going into teaching, some employers may offer support after you’ve left your graduate scheme into the first few years of teaching. Others may offer you the chance to become a qualified teacher alongside your studies, this would mean studying for the postgraduate PGCE qualification - allowing you to teach in any state school across the UK.
