We have received details about a visit from Teach First to Aberystwyth next Tuesday (3rd December). The event starts at 5pm in the Students Union. If you are interested in graduate teaching opportunities, please read on.

–8<----- Hello, My name is Laura McAvoy and I am the main contact for Aberystwyth students who’d like to find out more about Teach First. The link between low family income and poor educational attainment is greater in the UK than in almost any other developed country. It’s not right, it’s not fair and it can’t continue. But it doesn't have to be this way. Teach First harnesses the energy, enthusiasm and drive of outstanding graduates, like you, and equips them with leadership skills to enable inspirational teaching in schools in challenging circumstances across England and Wales. At the same time Teach First’s two-year Leadership Development Programme gives participants the skills, experience and leadership development training to excel in careers in any field. Teach First is an influential charity and an increasingly powerful movement founded to address this problem directly. Now in its eleventh year, it has played a part in changing the lives of thousands of young people. Join us at our Aberystwyth University presentation to find out more about our Leadership Development Programme. Day- Tuesday 3rd December Time- 5pm Venue- Aberystwyth Students' Union – The Picturehouse, 3rd floor It will be a great opportunity for you to find out more, have your questions answered and hear from people who have done the programme. You can sign up via our website- http://graduates.teachfirst.org.uk/events/index.html.

I look forward to seeing you then,

Laura
