Eligibility

Round five will run until July 2024 and will continue to offer FE providers support with funding towards new recruits undertaking a Level 5 teaching qualification, receiving intensive support such as paired teaching, mentoring or work shadowing, as well as a reduced teaching workload in the first year of teaching.

For this round, the programme has been expanded beyond the 15 technical routes to include a ‘core skills’ element, which aims to support the recruitment of business and industry experts to teach English, maths or SEND to Technical subject students.

Benefits

Funding of £18,200 per recruit will be made available.

The Department for Education-funded programme’s long-term aims is to:

• Raise the profile and prestige of skilled FE teaching, particularly among industry professionals; and
• Increase the overall number of skilled technical teaching roles by helping providers to support experienced industry professionals with the training that they require to become FE teachers.

Application process

There are two routes for application for the Taking Teaching Further Fund Opens New Round:

• Route 1 of the programme is open to all FE Colleges and Sixth Form Colleges in England.
• Route 2 of the programme is open to all independent training providers, employer led providers, third sector training providers, local authority providers, and adult and community learning providers.

Financial support is available for FE providers to address the cost of undertaking ITE and help create capacity for new recruits to learn and receive training and support on the job.

Round 5 is now open to applications.
