Reaseheath College and University Centre calls on industry to help create career-ready workforce.
Experienced construction and engineering professionals are being invited to explore a new direction in their careers at a series of staff recruitment events hosted by Reaseheath College and University Centre.
The Nantwich-based college is holding dedicated events on Tuesday, February 24th, giving skilled tradespeople and vehicle engineers the opportunity to find out how they could move into teaching within Further Education and help create the next generation of career-ready workers.
A Construction Recruitment Event will take place in the Construction Centre on the main college campus in Nantwich from 6pm to 8pm, welcoming experienced bricklayers, joiners, plasterers, site supervisors and construction managers who may be ready for a fresh challenge.
On the same day, an Engineering Staff Recruitment Event will be held at the College’s Reaseheath Engineering Apprenticeship Academy (REAA) 6am to 9am and then 5pm to 8pm, aimed at experienced engineers and motor vehicle technicians interested in becoming lecturers.
Andy Gould, Curriculum Area Manager for Construction at Reaseheath, said: “We are industry focused and career ready in everything we do. Our students aren’t just gaining qualifications; they are preparing for long-term careers in construction.
“To do that well, we need tutors who understand site standards, expectations and the realities of the job. If you’ve built your career in the industry, your experience could make a real difference.”
Savraj Bains, Curriculum Area Manager for Engineering, added: “Engineering businesses need skilled technicians who can step straight into the workplace and add value.
“When experienced engineers move into teaching, they bring current knowledge, professional behaviours and industry insight with them. That directly strengthens the career prospects of our learners.”
Importantly, no teaching qualification or classroom experience is required to apply. Reaseheath offers funded teacher training routes, worth up to £7,000, enabling new lecturers to earn while they train. New staff are also fully supported by dedicated mentoring and a professional development programme, to help them transition from their trade into teaching.
The informal drop-in events allow prospective applicants to tour Reaseheath’s industry-standard workshops, speak with current staff and find out more about current and upcoming vacancies.
There are also additional Construction Recruitment Events taking place on Saturday, March 21st between 2pm and 4pm and Friday, March 26th, 7am to 9am. Further information and registration details are available at https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/staff-recruitment-events-4817252
