Alex, a UWL alumna, was at the fair representing education recruitment agency Teaching Personnel.  We’re looking for students with experience of working as teachers or teaching assistants abroad, or who have worked in hospitality or childcare. We want to support them on their journey and help them as they develop their skills in education,” she explained.
