Tue, 3 Dec 2013Education recruitment consultancy Classpeople says its new offering of free training to teachers it supplies demonstrates a “new paradigm of recruiting” with increased investment in candidates on the cards.

The company offers three continuing professional development (CPD) sessions a term at schools across the regions it works in, which are free to teachers who have covered 50 days in the last term through Classpeople. Other Classpeople teachers pay a small fee and external teachers can also pay to attend.

Classpeople says that agencies offering training to teachers has “not been the tradition in the past”, with recruits themselves left to take care of their own development.

Lynis Bassett, Classpeople’s managing director and herself a former teacher, says: “Doing just this further cements our relationship with our clients as they can be sure that when we supply a teacher they will do a great job.”
