Review of teacher-employer encounters/placements

The aim of this research was to understand current practice, understand whether it would be beneficial to teachers and employers, and if so, what models of delivery should be offered and make recommendations for a future pilot.

This report details the key findings from the review. The review of teacher-employer encounters was conducted between April 2023 and June 2023.

A key finding from the research is that there is interest and enthusiasm for teacher-employer encounters amongst stakeholders, schools, and employers. Possible delivery models include online employer events, employer talks at schools, teacher workplace visits and teacher ‘externships’ (placements). This review has highlighted various issues that cut across suggested delivery models and should be considered when developing pilot teacher-employer encounters in Wales.
