Teaching offers you not only a challenging, rewarding career but a chance to share your knowledge and help future generations learn and thrive. New Zealand needs well-qualified, dynamic, and enthusiastic teachers who enjoy working with young people. There's a huge range of study options available, so look through the options to help you choose a program that suits you. There is government financial support for students studying, and Teach NZ has a range of scholarships to help get teachers into areas where they are needed the most. Employment-based initial teacher education aims to attract high caliber students into teaching and give them the skills and knowledge they need to meet the needs of diverse learners. Under employment-based teacher trainees are employed by schools as teachers while studying for their teaching qualification, instead of being based in universities. The Teacher Education Refresh is a Teaching Council program designed for teachers with limited or no teaching experience since qualifying, or teachers who completed their teacher qualification 6 or more years ago and want to re-register.
