What to Expect From Our Career Transition Workshop for Teachers

The long running and highly successful Career Transition Workshop by Those Who Can is a comprehensive teacher career change course. We have been running it for almost a decade and our carefully designed teacher career change programme combines training, resources and coaching. We will help you decide your next direction, position your skills and imbue you with the confidence to move forward.

If you’re a teacher thinking about your next chapter but are not sure where to begin, then our Career Transition Workshop is specifically for educators who want to move in a new professional direction—with clarity, confidence, and support.

Co-hosted by 18-07 Career Change Specialists and Those Who Can and held in a stunning corporate venue in the City of London, this full-day workshop will guide you step-by-step through every stage of your career change. Whether you’re dreaming of a new role in education-adjacent work or something completely different, we’re here to help you figure out the right direction for you!

This is our 48th workshop since 2016, and we’ve helped over 400 teachers secure fulfilling roles beyond the classroom. Could you be next?

1) You’ll Decide Your Career Direction

Many teachers come to the workshop knowing they want a change—but are unsure of what that looks like. That’s where we start.

We help you uncover your true strengths, skills, and passions, and match them to real opportunities in the wider world of work. Through guided activities and reflective exercises, you’ll gain clarity on the roles that genuinely suit you and start to understand your key drivers.

“I walked in feeling lost. I walked out with a plan—and a real sense of possibility.”

2) You’ll Understand Your Values

What matters to you in a working environment? Is it autonomy, creativity, collaboration, purpose—or something else entirely?

We explore your core values and how they align with different career paths, helping you make decisions that reflect what you need to thrive.

“I’d never been asked about my values before. It changed how I think about job satisfaction completely.”

3) You’ll Learn How To Network Successfully

Stepping outside the education sector can feel daunting—but you’re not alone.

We’ll show you how to build authentic, valuable professional connections without feeling awkward or salesy. You’ll learn the power of ‘career conversations’ and how to talk about your experience in ways that resonate beyond the classroom.

“Networking always felt cringey to me—until this. Now I get how natural and powerful it can be.”

4) You’ll Discover How To Navigate LinkedIn To Use It To Your Advantage

LinkedIn isn’t a digital CV—it’s your window to the professional world.

We’ll help you craft a compelling LinkedIn profile, use the platform to research sectors and roles, and connect with people who can open doors. Teachers often underestimate how in-demand their skills are—we’ll show you how to make them visible.

“I had no idea LinkedIn could be so useful.”

5) You’ll Learn How To Transform Your Teacher CV

In the school application process personal statements are the norm but in the outside world CV’s still dominate your job search. With the right structure and language, your experience becomes an asset.

We’ll help you translate your teaching career into employer-friendly language, so you can present your skills with confidence and catch the eye of hiring managers across industries.

“The CV advice was game-changing. I finally understood how to position myself as a professional beyond teaching.”

6) You’ll Understand How Write Effective Cover Letters

A great cover letter can be the difference between ‘maybe’ and ‘yes.’

We’ll guide you through writing letters that are concise, persuasive, and tailored, using our proven template that you can adapt for multiple roles.

“I used the cover letter template we practised and have now started to see traction with my applications”.

7) You’ll Know How To Impress At Interviews

Whether you’re facing a competency-based panel or a relaxed coffee chat, interview preperation is essential.

We’ll help you prepare structured answers, build confidence, and practise delivering them in real time. You’ll leave with a strong sense of how to showcase your value—without feeling like you’re performing.

Why This Workshop is Different

The workshop is designed and delivered by 18-07 Career Change Specialists in partnership with us, blending corporate insights with deep educational understanding. We’re not here to sell you on a specific career path—we’re here to help you find your own.

And the venue? St James’s Place in the City of London offers a stunning backdrop—because you deserve to feel like a professional stepping into a new world. The shift in setting often sparks a mental shift too.
