Virginia Brown (Before, After and Out of School Manager) will discuss her vast experience from her managerial role across several settings and how this could be a valuable career path to take, and Angie Rogers, Subject Specialist Teaching and Learning at NCFE, will speak about the upcoming National Teaching Assistant Day on 16 September.

We’ll also be joined by our subject specialist Janet King (Sector Manager in Education and Childcare), who will discuss the various roles you can take within the education and childcare sectors, and our CACHE Alumni team will be talking your students through the job platform Skillzminer, which can help your students find their next role, figure out their next CPD steps and set their salary expectations using powerful AI.
