At the Chichester College Group, we have a range of interesting and engaging professional development and training opportunities available to staff.
Continuing Professional Development is encouraged by the Group and is a great way to gain new skills and knowledge and enhance your career. Our professional development and training opportunities include:
- Development days throughout the year, including two development days unique to your team and a ‘back to industry’ day for academic staff.
- Free Level 2 Vocationally Related Qualifications (VRQs)
- Leadership and management development, including the Group’s Management Development Centre
- Online Skillgate training sessions
- Weekly Continuous Professional Development offerings for both business support and academic staff
- Apprenticeships for staff funded by the apprenticeship levy
- The Level 3 Award in Education and Training is funded by the Group for new Lecturers who do not hold a teaching qualification
Your pathway into teaching
We are regularly recruiting for staff to teach across a variety of curriculum areas, including areas based in industry such as engineering, construction, hairdressing and hospitality. We recognise that moving into a teaching role can be daunting, especially if you have always worked in industry or are unfamiliar with working in Further Education.
Therefore, we have put together a pathway into teaching, which outlines your journey to becoming an outstanding lecturer or teacher at the Chichester College Group.
