Teachers Getting The IT Message

Teachers, as we all know, are dedicated, motivated and hardworking. Which isn't to say that teachers don't, like the rest of us, crave change and challenge. The world of information technology (IT) might not seem the most obvious area for those leaving the education system but it's where, as technical trainers, increasing numbers of teachers are finding a new direction.

Ericsson, the giant IT company, actively recruits teachers as technical trainers. Once trained themselves, their role is to train both internal and external Ericsson customers in the use of the Ericsson products such as the Switching System AXE and on the related hard and software. Recruits will have a background with an element of technical training.

Words with some of those teachers who've already made the switch reveal teacher trainers well satisfied with their lot.
