Dysgu’r Dyfodol

Dysgu’r Dyfodol: A mentoring and work experience scheme for university students

Do you want to know more about a career as a teacher in Wales and get paid for doing so?  

We are offering an opportunity for university students, who are studying any subject, who speak Welsh, and who want to know more about a career as a teacher to take part in the scheme Dysgu’r Dyfodol. 

There is a payment of £100 to everyone who completes the scheme!

What will be included?

• 3 mentoring sessions (one hour each) with an early career teacher who can share experiences with you
• 2 days of work experience in a school

The mentoring sessions will be an opportunity for you to understand more about how to train to be a teacher, the experience of being a teacher in Wales, and what is available to early career teachers. It will also be an opportunity to ask questions to someone who has been through the process recently and get honest answers.

What about the work experience? 

You are welcome to organise your own work experience in a primary or secondary school, or the Coleg can help you organise. The two work experience days will be an opportunity for you to get a taste of life in the classroom and in school.

The advantages  

Participating in the scheme will help you to:

• add skills to your CV
• understand more about a career as a teacher and have the opportunity to ask important questions
• earn £100
