July’s profile is Jamie Young. Jamie graduated in 2012 with a BSc (Hons) and DIS in Architectural Engineering and Design Management. He now works for Morgan Sindall as a Design and Bid Manager

Where are you now?

I now work for Morgan Sindall, who are a major contractor. I am a Design Manager and Bid Manager mainly working on tenders up to £20 million and live projects up to £15 million. My main jobs include managing a team of people to produce a tender for a client, as well as ensuring that the design is efficient, cost effective and complies with regulations.

How did you get there?

My course was always very focused on design management and that was the career path they always suggested that we take. The important part of the course was its uniqueness, which fits in with the role. The role very much matches the course.

Opportunities to Train as a Secondary Teacher at Keele University

Those considering Secondary teacher training can apply through the Graduate Teacher Training Registry (GTTR) for a place on a PGCE as has been the case for many years (www.gttr.ac.uk).  An alternative route for this September is called school Direct.  Training numbers have been allocated to schools and the schools are required to work with providers such as Keele.  Applications to this route are made via the Department for Education’s (DfE) website (www.education.gov.uk/teachschooldirect). 

Keele University works with schools across Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin.  The teacher training portfolio offered at Keele has some overlap with PGCE subjects at Loughborough (Science and Mathematics) but there are a number of curriculum areas where Keele is the only Higher Education provider in this part of the Midlands. The programme undertaken by students/trainees on School Direct, with Keele, is more or less identical to the ‘standard’ programme and all successful students are awarded a PGCE.
