Rebooting recruitment – a smarter way

Seminar Brief

The words ‘crisis’ and ‘nightmare’ are banded around everywhere when we start talking about our school recruitment challenges. But it needn’t be like this! This seminar is designed to give you some strategies and actions you can introduce in your school straight away. We will look at real life examples of schools who are tackling this issue effectively and also take a look outside of education to see if we can learn from others. This seminar will cover recruitment of staff and pupil admissions too.

Justin Smith, managing director, Chameleon Consultancy and Training
