Everyone who works in education is driven by the wish to improve the life chances of young people and help them reach their full potential. Recruiting recent graduates into our schools is something that everyone benefits from. The growth of MAT-run teacher-training programmes is helping to address the need for a national pipeline of talent in schools.
Yet, with the stalling of graduate schemes such as the civil service fast stream, it is perhaps even more essential now that, as employers, we keep up our commitment to providing meaningful opportunities to those leaving university and wishing to make a contribution to civil society through their career choices.
