 Bernadette Soris - Computer Science trainee, 2024-2025

Bernadette applied to Mid Essex ITT in the Summer of 2024 and was living in Scotland at the time. She travelled to Braintree for an interview with Mid Essex and also a school that was interested in hosting a salaried Computer Science trainee

I was living in Scotland when I applied to Mid Essex ITT. Mid Essex ITT recognised my local and overseas experience and welcomed me on to the teacher training programme, showing their commitment to fair and inclusive recruitment. From my induction onwards, I always felt supported. The Director’s kindness and approachability gave me the confidence to relocate to England for my training, and throughout the programme, staff guided me with empathy and fairness as I adapted to a new education system. Mid Essex ITT truly values all trainees, and I would highly recommend it to anyone from a Global Majority Heritage background.
