I worked in the aviation industry for a few years working as cabin crew for various airlines and then covid-19 hit and had a big impact on my career.
I had to decide what I was going to do, as I did not know when the industry would open back up.
That is when I decided to come to University Centre Rotherham (UCR) to do my PGCE to become a qualified teacher.
Emma White“I am so glad to have been able to have the time consider my options and use #mytime to go back to education and back to studying, which is the best decision I ever made.”
I did know about the UCR and RNN Group due to studying here years before and and completing my Level 3 Travel and Tourism at Dearne Valley College, so I knew I would get the support I needed to help me to pass my qualification.
I wanted to go into the industry first to get first-hand experience before becoming a teacher.
I decided due to covid mainly that it was now #mytime to restudy and continue my education at University, and develop my knowledge in a different industry.
Since I completed my PGCE, I started working for the Group in the Schools Liaison Team, going out to promote the Group to schools and Year 9, 10 and 11 learners using my teaching knowledge to support this. Through this I found out about a new aviation course the Group was offering and I am now teaching aviation and business at the RNN Group.
I also met my now husband through the Group who is an accountancy tutor at the UCR so I could not be happier.
I am so glad to have been able to have the time consider my options and use #mytime to go back to education and back to studying, which is the best decision I ever made.
