Mid-career professionals looking to switch careers now have a scheme where they can train to become teachers in international schools.
The National Trades Union Congress' Employment and Employability Institute (e2i) and the Economic Development Board (EDB) have launched a Professional Conversion Programme (PCP) where mid-career professionals can take up trainee positions at an international school while studying for a postgraduate certificate in education with the British University of Nottingham.
