Teachers & Advisers
The Education Outreach Team value establishing and maintaining relationships with teachers, sixth form / college staff and careers advisers.
The team provide information, support and guidance to teachers and careers advisers involved in pre and post-16 education. We also offer a number of engaging and topical opportunities for staff regarding the changes to the sector, as well as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities.
We also offer a variety of short courses that are suitable for the continued professional development of staff. These include:
- Health, Mental Health and Wellbeing in Education Settings
- Sports Coaching: PE and School Sports
- Future Leaders
For further information about these courses and the others available, please see our full list of short courses.
We offer an annual Careers Adviser Day to raise awareness of the current curriculum portfolio and provide up-to-date guidance on progression into Higher Education. This can also be offered to teaching staff within schools and colleges.
“I found the Careers Adviser Event at Wrexham invaluable for my role. Having the opportunity to engage with members of staff from a range of courses and relay questions to course specialists that I know our customers have been asking, was incredibly useful... being able to tour the facilities and accommodation, as well as speak to current students at the University, provided an insight into student life at Wrexham that cannot be gauged from just looking at a website or university prospectus.”
