Paid Teaching Internships in Gloucestershire Secondary Schools. 

Odyssey Teaching School Hub is once again offering paid internships to undergraduate and Master’s students interested in a career in teaching.

We will need more teachers.

We know that many of our pupils in our schools would make excellent teachers. The undergraduate internship 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.
