We are delighted to announce a new partnership with BeReady to help address some of the sector’s most pressing challenges: recruitment, retention and career progression.
Strengthening professional development across the workforce
Through this partnership, educators working with BeReady will be able to access a discounted first year of Chartered College of Teaching membership and new professional development opportunities. This creates a direct link between BeReady’s workforce development programmes and our professional learning community, resources and evidence-informed practice.
BeReady delivers fully funded, bespoke development programmes across education and other sectors, helping organisations attract, develop and retain talent. Its career pathway offers support to professionals at all stages, from teaching assistants and early years practitioners through to specialist roles and those exploring routes into teaching.
The Chartered College of Teaching supports educators and leaders through membership, accreditation, professional learning and access to research and evidence. This partnership extends that offer to a broader network of educators engaged with BeReady’s programmes.
A shared commitment to sustainable workforce development
We are aligned in recognising the urgency of building a more sustainable and supported education workforce. By combining BeReady’s practical, funded training solutions with our focus on evidence-informed professional learning and professional recognition, this partnership aims to create more coherent development journeys for educators.
Together with BeReady, we will explore opportunities to:
- Strengthen access to professional learning and membership in the teaching profession
- Support career-long development across education roles
- Help schools, trusts and providers build more sustainable workforce pathways
- Voices from the partnership
