Following the successful launch of SELEP’s Teaching for Growth project in 2019, the new Become a Lecturer campaign and website launched to provide industry experts across the SELEP patch with a wealth of information on how to make use of their skills in a teaching environment by becoming a lecturer, tutor or assessor in Further Education.

Across the South East LEP area, there is particular demand for lecturers in Engineering, Construction, Digital Technologies, plus Health and Care professions. The new website highlights current vacancies and supplies further information on the roles and benefits of FE lecturers.

The Teaching for Growth campaign delivers bursaries of up to £4,000 each, to contribute to teacher training costs in priority sectors. Targets have already been exceeded, with more than 70 bursaries already secured in total across the SELEP area.
