As part of Phase 2 of the High Achieving Teachers (HAT) Program Expansion Pilots, ten providers will deliver almost 1500 places in new and innovative employment-based pathways into teaching across all states and territories.
Under the pilots, providers will support participants to complete their accredited teaching qualification whilst undertaking paid teaching experience. This will help participants make a successful transition into teaching and provide them with the skills they need to enter the classroom.
The pilots will focus on recruiting people from a diverse range of backgrounds, including STEM specialists, First Nations peoples, people with disability, teacher aides and people based in remote locations.
The HAT Program Phase 2 Expansion Pilots will assist employers of teachers by recruiting participants with the skills, experience, and personal characteristics that schools need.
