Dear Philippa, The Refugee Council used to have the Refugees Into Teaching programme but it seems to have come to an end. There is some information still available on their website however. http://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/refugees_into_teaching Hope it helps, Nicci Refugees into Teaching - Refugee Services - Refugee Council<http://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/refugees_into_teaching> www.refugeecouncil.org.uk Refugees into Teaching (rit) supports those with a background in teaching who are looking to requalify and access employment within primary and secondary education ... ________________________________ From: ESOL-Research discussion forum and message board <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Philippa Grimes <[log in to unmask]> Sent: 06 November 2016 22:56 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Career advice for a refugee teacher Hi, This year, one of my Entry 3 ESOL students is an Arabic first language speaker and a refugee. (I have their permission to contact you.) The student was, in their home country, the head teacher of a secondary school of over 1000 pupils for ten years. Regarding potential career opportunities in the UK, as a first step I have suggested going to Wolverhampton University careers office for some advice. Obviously the student's knowledge of English needs to improve up to Level 2 or beyond. However, what further advice might you give to such a student (who has so very much to offer)? Do let me know your thoughts, which I'll pass on.
