The skills, knowledge and experience you’ve gained in your career is incredibly valuable – but how many of us actually use it to inspire the next generation?
Northampton College is hosting a staff recruitment event to showcase how working in Further Education can prove a rewarding opportunity for you to make a difference.
If you have industry experience, you could share those skills to train up the next generation of experts in their field, ensuring a constant pipeline of work-ready employees.
Pat Brennan-Barrett, principal of Northampton College, said:
“A career in teaching will revitalise your working life in a fresh and exciting way, enabling you to build on or develop new skills and enhance your career opportunities.
“Learning from people who have been there, seen it and done it themselves is important. It gives added credibility and proves you are speaking from experience. We want people to use that experience to inspire our students.
“Companies throughout Northamptonshire and beyond are always looking for the next wave of employees, the next intake of staff, and we want to be able to work with them to ensure the employees of the future are ready to hit the ground running when they are given an opportunity and grab their chance to shine.”
The recruitment fair will be held at Booth Lane from 5pm to 7pm on Wednesday, March 16, 2022.
Even if they are not yet ready to commit to a career in education, potential future applicants are welcome to come along and find out how their skills could one day transfer to a role at Northampton College.
