Are you considering a job in education or are you curious what it means to work as a teacher or in an education related job? Then this Online Career College could help you gaining insight into the career opportunities related to education!

During the Career College a panel of speakers with an education related job - mostly teachers, but teaching at different educational levels - will be present. They all have a background in science and/or medical background and will be happy to talk about their careers and to share their experience with you.

The panel consists of:

•    Menno Mulder – Mathematics Teacher, Cals College/Trainee “Trainees in Onderwijs” – educational background: Physics and Astronomy
•    Fouzia Lghoul Oulad Saïd – Teacher and Researcher, Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research (LACDR) – educational background: Pharmacy

•    Jennifer Verkleij – Pathology, Physiology and Anatomy Teacher, The Hague University of Applied Sciences (former Biology Teacher) – educational background: Biomedical Sciences 

There will be the opportunity to discuss several topics with the panel members, such as:

• What exactly are the activities of a teacher? How does a normal day looks like?
• Which skills are necessary to be successful in the educational field? Could it be something for you?
• What is important for employers when applying for an educational position?
• Is a PhD degree a benefit or a disadvantage for a career in education?
• How do you become a teacher?

Join the discussion and ask your questions about the opportunities and challenges, frustrations and success factors of working in education.

Moreover, the last 20 minutes of the session Claartje Blessing (from ICLON) and Roos Greven (from Trainees in Onderwijs) will share information about two programs preparing you for becoming a teacher in secondary education. Please note that a fluent level of Dutch is required for these programs.
