LWRFC Hub Partners With NITE

Our London Welsh RFC Career Hub is delighted to announce a partnership with The National Teaching and Education Institute with the aim of helping players explore careers in teaching.

The NITE pathway into teaching is second to none and offers meticulous mentoring, interactive sessions to provide insights into the rewarding world of teaching and a modern, powerful curriculum offering fast track opportunities and industry placements.

On the pitch, rugby builds more than physical strength. It shapes character. It teaches commitment, resilience, teamwork, leadership and belief, often at moments when people need those things most. In classrooms, great teachers do the same. They create environments where young people feel seen, challenged, supported and capable of more than they imagined.

That shared belief is why London Welsh RFC has partnered with The National Institute of Teaching and Education (NITE), a national teacher training provider with the expertise, reach and flexibility to support people from all backgrounds into teaching. Working together, we want to give players, members and the wider London Welsh community the opportunity to:

• Learn more about teaching as a career - what it’s really like and what it offers

• Understand the different pathways into teaching, including flexible and supported routes

• Have informal conversations to explore interest, with no pressure or commitment

• Access guidance and next steps for those who want to explore teaching more seriously

• Access potential school experience for individuals who are ready to take that step

As part of this partnership, NITE will be running a planned series of opportunities to help you explore teaching, including:

• In-person information events

• Online webinars exploring routes into teaching

• 1-to-1 conversations for those who want tailored guidance

• Opportunities to take the next step, including school experience, where appropriate
