Career field guide
Education & Training
Teaching, learner support, training and education-administration work across schools, colleges and organisations.
Roles to explore
A practical way to start
Show your subject knowledge, ability to explain clearly and any experience helping learners, facilitating groups or organising materials.
You do not need to have every skill before you begin. Identify one role you can realistically target now, one piece of evidence you can create this month, and one person or resource that can help you understand the day-to-day work better.
Transferable skills worth building
What's changing
Digital learning & AI-supported teaching
These are areas to explore, not a promise that every role is hiring. Use current job adverts to confirm the skills and credentials an employer actually requires.
Emerging roles
Modern skills to build
Use AI as a support for preparation and feedback, while keeping human teaching judgement, inclusion and safeguarding central.
Trend context: World Economic Forum, Future of Jobs 2025 and DHET skills strategy.
Where this can lead
People may move toward qualified teaching, curriculum support, learning design, training management or student services.
