Teaching Assistant Apprenticeships
The best education and training providers need the best support staff. Teaching Assistants are a critical part of the school workforce, the unsung heroes of the classroom and integral to providing access to learning for a growing number of learners. Current Teacher shortages can mean pupils are missing out on essential support as Teaching Assistants and support staff increasingly provide cover for absent teachers. Whilst some higher-level Teaching Assistants have the relevant qualifications to do this effectively, many don’t.
Apprenticeships are a great way of addressing this skills shortage, providing an engaging and rewarding learning environment for future Teaching Assistants. They can earn while they learn, obtain a Level 3 qualification, and gain invaluable experience alongside your existing staff, all whilst supporting learning in the classroom, thanks to our flexible training delivery.
We can help with...
- Bespoke training delivery, online or face-to-face, to support the specific needs of your school
- Upskilling English and Maths for staff that need it with our Functional Skills offer
- A discount for Hertfordshire County Council Schools (Levy Funded)
- Cutting costs on recruitment with support from the HRC Apprenticeship Team
- Training Support for Teaching & Learning across Primary, Secondary and SEND
Effective training and deployment of Teaching Assistants can be the difference between a school where staff turnover is high, and a school where staff are passionate about their career, supported through their own personal growth, whether they want to provide higher level support or pursue teaching themselves.
Establishing a professional development pathway to nurture talent in your team helps retain valuable employees, increases job satisfaction, and ensures your support staff develop skill sets that are agile and adaptable to the ever changing needs of the education sector.
Let us help you to empower your workforce by recruiting and training Teaching Assistants that can make a difference today.
