Varkey Foundation Fellowship Program, UK (2016-2017)

The Varkey Foundation is offering four exciting 7 month paid Fellowships to start in September for recent post-graduates with a passion for making a difference in education and contributing to make the GESF a success. The Varkey Foundation addresses global teaching capacity and seeds excellence in the next generation of educators.

As part of their advocacy programs, the Varkey Foundation hosts The Global Education and Skills Forum annually in Dubai. The event encourages delegates from all around the world to network, debate and discuss all matters concerning education. Each year, the Forum focuses on certain themes, and last year’s theme was ‘how can we make education everyone’s business’.

In addition to shared learning activities, each Fellow undertakes a programme of personal and professional development. The structure of the Fellowship depends on the development needs and aspirations of the individual and includes:

- Group workshops with the Fellowship cohort (focusing on areas such as fundraising and philanthropy, public engagement, strategic planning and event management);
- Intensive on the job learning;
- Extensive coaching and mentoring;
