FT 3 July
A raft of blue-chip companies is taking part in a government-backed scheme to help employees switch to a second career in teaching.Larry Hirst, chairman of IBM Europe, which was involved in developing the Transition to Teaching scheme and is one of the 48 companies and government agencies participating in it, denied it was a way of shunting mediocre performers into another profession. He said IBM employees joining it must show "solid performance in their annual appraisals in the past three years".The company will give a quarter of the salary it had been paying before to anyone moving to teaching, during their teacher training.All participating organisations must pledge to promote the scheme to their staff, but do not need to give them financial aid.The scheme's backers include Pearson, which owns the Financial Times.FT
