Teacher Tea: Edinburgh

Teachers and careers professionals are often the first people students turn to when they feel unsure about their future.

Teacher Tea: Edinburgh is a relaxed, in-person afternoon tea designed to help you stay informed, connected and confident when supporting students with apprenticeships, employer opportunities and next steps after school.

Join Pathway CTM in partnership with leading employer brands, including KPMG and Atkins Realis, for an afternoon of practical insight, open conversation and networking, with free afternoon tea included. More employers will be announced ahead of the event.

Why attend?

Students are making big decisions about their futures, and the options available to them are changing quickly.

This event will help you:

• Understand the apprenticeship and employer-led opportunities available to students
• Connect directly with employers like KPMG and Atkins Realis, who offer apprenticeships in the Edinburgh area, with more to be announced
• Hear first hand from these brands about how their apprenticeship programmes work, insight that applies just as well when guiding students towards other employers too
• Ask real, direct questions to recruiters, not just read about opportunities online
• Learn how Pathway CTM can support your students before, during and after employer events
• Share the challenges your students are currently facing
• Build useful connections with employers, Pathway CTM and other education professionals

You’ll leave with clearer guidance, stronger employer insight and practical information you can take back to your students.

What to expect

This will be a professional but informal afternoon, including:

• Direct conversation with recruiters from KPMG and Atkins Realis, with more employers to be confirmed
• Insight into how their apprenticeship schemes work, useful even if your students are looking at other employers
• Discussion around student readiness, confidence and engagement
• Opportunities to ask questions and share school challenges
• Informal networking with teachers, careers leads and employers
• Complimentary afternoon tea

Who should attend?

This event is for teachers, careers leads and education professionals who support students with careers education, apprenticeships, employer engagement or post-school pathways.
