The Adventures After Teaching Podcast
Working with Universities as an Outreach Officer
Academy member Paul shares his teacher career change journey with us - from teaching internationally to securing a role as an Outreach Officer at “Make Happen”, a company working in partnerships with local university and disadvantaged schools to increase access advice and info to students, teachers and parents on reality of higher and university education.
He enjoys a hybrid role with time at home and the ability to truly switch off evenings and weekends. Paul's day-to-day gives a fascinating insight into the sorts of skills and experiences universities and charities who work with them are looking for.

- Evidencing project management and events management in the interview process
- What school outreach looks like day-to-day
- Feeling the benefits of work-life balance
