Firstly, you will need to decide what part of law you are wanting to work within. There are many different ways you can work in the law industry. For example, becoming a lawyer, a solicitor or enforcing the law with the police.

Once you have decided which area you are focusing upon working within, you will need to look into what your next steps are. For most law careers you will need a degree studying law. This means heading off to university to study.

Whilst you are studying try to maintain a good relationship with any work experience you complete. This can help you in your later career with finding your first full time employment. Some companies may even offer you a job role whilst on your work experience for once you complete your degree.

However, if you are more wanting to enforce the law, you can gain a job for your local police force as a volunteer. Or even go to University to study policing and gain a deeper insight into this path.

Most people look at apprenticeships as the cheating way out. Making it possible for you to not have to go to university and gain a degree. However, this is not how we should think about apprenticeships. They are not a negative thing. Apprenticeships are amazing and we should encourage people who want to work this way to do it. It helps them to gain experience in the area which they want to work. Sometimes University gives you a lot of insight into the past of the career, however this is not up to date. Therefore sometimes it is more beneficial to learn whilst working on the job. Completing an apprenticeship also allows you to earn money whilst learning rather than gaining yourself a massive debt. It is important to remember that some jobs do require university. Therefore an apprenticeship will not be for everyone. However, we should not belittle anyone who does choose this route.

As we all know the year of 2020 took a turn for the worse when in March the United Kingdom was placed in lockdown. Even though some children were still attending school, most children were at home. So how has teaching changed throughout this year?

At the beginning of 2020 teaching was at its normal. 20 to 30 students in each classroom, playing with each other, sharing the equipment. Children being able to play together and interact with each other and their teachers.

However, from March of 2020, this all changed. Children were being made to sit separately. They were not allowed to share their equipment, and they had their own bubble to play in.

As the new school year is drawing closer, we can expect to see children still practising their social distancing. However, this is not as strict. They can play together. Picking up and dropping off is all socially distanced, but it is working.

When thinking about becoming a teacher there are a few things you need to do before you get there.

Firstly, deiced what age of children you would like to teach. Will it be primary students, secondary students or university students. The training you entail will be designed for the ages you want to teach.

Ensure you know how you will fund your education to become a teacher. There are many different funding options from, a tax-free bursary, tuition fee and maintenance loan.

Make sure you are ready for the commitment. Training to be a teacher through a university degree can take three to four years full time and six years part-time. But once you have graduated, be committed to the marking and giving your students the best teaching possible.

Finally, you will need to plan your teacher training. This is generally completed in schools near you for the ages you want to work with.

If you are qualified to teach, you may be interested in a change to your career. Supply teaching is a great way to make a change but stick within the teaching profession.

There are many benefits to supply teaching, such as:

Flexibility- You get to choose what days you want to work and can have the days off you want. So if a 2 day working week is what you want, then supply teaching can offer you that flexibility.

Great rates of pay- The pay rates are competitive, making it even more appealing.

Fixed supply work- there may be opportunities to have a fixed teaching job but with the supply benefits, such as covering a term or maternity leave.

There really are lots of benefits to supply teaching, and its a great way to mix up your current working style and to test out a new area of education.
