Odyssey offers internships in Gloucestershire Secondary Schools.
We are keen to encourage people with an interest in becoming a teacher. We want to find and train the best teachers possible for the pupils in our schools. The number of pupils in Gloucestershire schools is rising and this is forecast to continue.
We will need more teachers.
We know that many of our pupils in our schools would make excellent teachers. The Undergraduate Internships programme is designed to ensure that we identify and nurture those with an interest and encourage them to return to train and work with us when they graduate.
