Teaching is a challenging but rewarding profession, with opportunities for graduates from all degree disciplines to work with different age groups in a range of settings. Some experience of working with children and young people, and classroom experience, are essential if you are thinking of applying for teacher training and will help you better understand the sector and whether it is right for you.
The University of York job sector pages have useful information about starting a career in teaching and education more generally. There are sections on what teaching entails and the skills you will need to do it, whether it is the right career for you, the various routes into teaching and training courses, how best to find a job, and much more.
Talks on careers in teaching are available on the VLE Employability Tutorial - Psychology under Psychology Resources and Careers Days talks – these give a personal insight into the career.
