When you choose to access the new opportunities available for training, you enhance your own career prospects; help your school improve what it offers to pupils and staff; and do your bit for the country's drive to expand its skills base.
You can develop in your current role(s) at school, or get
ready to move on to new challenges, by taking one of
the many training courses you can find through
skills4schools.
Whether you're a teaching assistant or ICT technician
helping children get the most out of a lesson in the classroom,
or a caretaker or cleaner ensuring the premises are clean and
safe to use, you play a vital role in the day-to-day life of
your school.
By taking advantage of the opportunities available for
training in your workplace, you won't only be helping to
fulfil your own potential: you'll also be doing your bit to
help the UK as a whole develop in the years ahead.
Schools Minister Jim Knight today announced moves to improve
support staff arrangements for schools, enhancing the role and
status of teaching assistants and other support staff.
