The next few weeks are a crucial time to maximise your marketing activities and generate the applications you need.
Review your website – make sure your site prominently shows the remaining subject places and you have a clear timeline for applicants with details of any support or events you are offering.
Update your vacancies on web-link – regularly check that information on the UCAS website reflects your latest available places.
Remember to use social media – use your own, or partners', social media channels to promote your vacancies and encourage applicants to get in touch. There are some tips in this previous online seminar. You can tap into the Get into Teaching followers nationwide by contacting us at www.facebook.com/getintoteaching or www.twitter.com/getintoteaching.
Make the most of community links – consider reminding parents, governors, school partners and local careers services that there is still time to apply for teacher training with you for a September start date. Word of mouth can be very powerful. Use the School Direct: recruitment and marketing guide for tips on promoting your School Direct offer.
Use your local networks – Join up with other School Direct schools, SCITTs and higher education providers in your cluster or local area. This lets you share resources and events, and reach a wider range of applicants. You can also promote your training places through other local networks, such as teaching schools.
