Teacher placement
It's important that teachers understand the skills young people need to develop to be successful in life and work. Inviting a teacher to join your business for a short period of time is a great way of making sure they have that knowledge.
Through a teacher placement, teachers can learn about what you need from your future employees and transfer that to the classroom enabling them to contextualise and bring alive learning for young people.
EEBL (Excellence in Education through Business Links) is Scotland's teacher placement programme and a key element of Determined to Succeed, Scotland's strategy for enterprise education that aims to better prepare young people for the world of work.
By giving teachers opportunities to spend time in the world of work, they get interesting, stimulating and relevant hands-on experiences of a wide range of industries and careers and how they relate to what they are teaching in the classroom. You, in turn, get access to new ideas and up to date information on what's happening in our schools.
Having someone new in the workplace reinvigorates your employees and helps to develop a range of skills such as communication and working with others. Through working on joint projects the business, teachers and pupils all benefit.
It's easy to get involved and all the paperwork is taken care of by Careers Scotland.
