Teach First

Teach First Employer Presentation

- 29th October, 1pm @ the Pitt

Building

Find out about the excellent

opportunities offered by Teach

First, including our Leadership

Development Programme (LDP) –

a two-year commitment that

combines teacher training and a

fully-funded PGCE qualification

with one-to-one leadership

coaching. Learn how you’ll

develop leadership qualities that

can be applied to any working

environment, no matter where

your career takes you afterwards.

In this presentation you’ll hear

first-hand accounts of what

teaching in a Teach First school is

like, get details on how to apply

for the LDP and our

undergraduate opportunities, and

gain an insight into the social

injustice that exists in the UK -

where the link between low family

income and poor educational

attainment is greater than in

almost any other developed

country.

Drinks and nibbles will be

available afterwards, with the

opportunity to speak to members

of our graduate recruitment team

and to individuals who have

already completed the LDP.

It is essential that you register for

the event in advance. You can do

so here: http://bit.ly/1OSqePQ

Scouts

Hi all,

Are you looking for volunteering

opportunities that

are fun, challenging,flexible, and

don't require any previous

experience or skills, and

wouldlook REALLY good on

your CV? Read on if that is the

case!!

I was a NatSci in Clare and have

just started my PhD in Physics. I

have always loved the idea of

volunteering and being able to

make a positive impact in the local

community. I have done lots of

volunteering work in the past but

nothing could really compare with

the experience I have had with the

14th Cambridge Scout Group. I

joined them a year ago, having no

experience in Scouting

whatsoever. Since then I have

learnt many new skills, done

things I would have never done

without Scouting, met people from

all walks of life and had a

fabulous time with them. I have

recently taken over as one of their

Section Leaders and am in charge

of running weekly meetings for 25

Scouts (age 10-14) during term

time, while keeping an active

academic and social life!

Volunteering for Scouting is much

easier than you think! You don't

need to be a survivor like Bear

Grylls to volunteer. In fact, I knew

nothing about survival or

traditional Scouting skills last year

when I joined. Training is

provided free of charge and you

can gain qualifications that would

almost certainly help you in your

future career.

Volunteering for Scouting is also

very flexible: you can give as

much or as little time as you like,

and you can fit volunteering

around all your other

commitments. We

have opportunities for everyone:

you may only want to help out

once a month in our meetings,

with certain activities that you

specialise in, or help organising

events behind the scenes and

managing group projects.

We would very much love to have

more young adults like you in our

Scouting family. Join us in the

adventure and together we can

change the lives of many young

people!

It has been a thoroughly enjoyable

and rewarding experience for me

and I would really encourage you

to give it a go! If you would like

more information, please don't

hesitate to contact me.

We are having a jumble sale at

10.30am this Saturday (17th

October) at St. Luke's church,

CB4 3DZ. Feel free to pop round

if you would like to grab some

nice stuff (e.g. plates, mugs, board

games, clothes, simple electrical

appliances etc.).

Thanks!

Best wishes,

OC&C

If you're at the point where you're

working out what the next steps are

after university, there's no doubt

you'll be inundated with options - a

lot of which might not sound too

familiar. After spending some years

engaging with some of the most

complex problems in your field, you

might be looking for a career option

which allows you to keep on

stretching and refining your thinking.

One which gives you the scope to

apply the skills you've developed to a

completely new challenge. That's

what OC&C can do for you.

We see ourselves as the challenger

brand in the strategy consulting

industry - we do things differently to

the traditional firms. We work with

senior executives, providing solutions

to their most important and

challenging problems. Problems that

keep senior executives up at night—

and look to people like you to solve.

We look for bright, motivated,

creative graduates who can think

outside the box when presented with

a problem and work together with

like-minded individuals to develop

innovative solutions to pertinent

problems in business.

If this sounds like the kind of

challenge you want to take on, we are

holding a selection of events to help

you find out more about us in a

relaxed, informal setting. Find out
