Continuing our deep dive into reasons why you should #hireateacher if you haven't already... Last week, we explored how transferable "Classroom Management" and "Lesson/Curriculum Planning" skills are to any industry. This week's transferable skills I want to highlight and celebrate are: Facilitation: Teachers excel at facilitating discussions, leading workshops, and creating engaging learning experiences. These skills are invaluable in corporate training, team-building activities, and client engagements, where effective facilitation drives success and innovation. Asking Questions: Teachers are adept at crafting essential questions that lead to deep understanding and critical thinking. This ability is crucial in roles requiring problem-solving and innovation, as asking the right questions often leads to the best solutions. From running meetings, interviewing people, leading training and development, and managing projects—educators are powerhouses full of foundational skills that work in pretty much any department. So, if you're a Hiring Manager and you see an educator's resume in your list—don't ignore them. Move them along in the hiring queue—at least give them the first call. #CareerAdvice #TeacherSkills #ProfessionalDevelopment #TransferableSkills #JobSearch
