The Education and Training Foundation has announced that round 4 of the Taking Teaching Further programme is now open for applications. The Taking Teaching Further programme is a national initiative to attract experienced industry professionals with expert technical knowledge and skills to work in Further Education (FE). The focus will be across any of the 15 technical teaching routes.
Round 4 will run from April 2021 until July 2023.
The programme’s long-term aims are to:
- raise the profile and prestige of skilled FE teaching, particularly among industry professionals; and
- increase the overall number of skilled technical teaching roles by helping providers to support experienced industry professionals with the training that they require to become FE teachers.
Taking Teaching Further Round 4 funding is available for all FE providers with two routes to access the programme depending on provider type.
Route 1
Route 1 of the programme is open to all FFE Colleges, Sixth Form Colleges, and Specialist Designated Institutions in England. Places will be made available to all colleges on a draw-down basis.
Route 2
Route 2 of the programme is open to all independent training providers, employer led providers, third sector training providers, local authority providers, and adult and community learning providers. These places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and it is strongly advised that providers register early for places.
