Undertaking a TEFL course can help youngsters who are uneasy about their futures, whether that’s in education or employment.
According to the Association for Learning Technology (ATL), there are currently one million people in the 16 to 25 age range that are unemployed and the spending cuts in education announced on June 22nd can only make things worse.
Most public services except the NHS will be facing 25 per cent spending cuts after the emergency Budget was announced last week.
At least 200,000 youngsters are expected to miss out on a university place next year but young people should not despair.
Joe Hallwood, TEFL England co-founder, said: "TEFL provides an exciting opportunity to gain useful skills and experience by working abroad putting someone in a stronger position to find employment when they return to the UK."
He added that a gap year teaching abroad can create a more impressive CV, while providing a wage.
Labour leader, Harriet Harman warned today (June 30th) that the spending cuts could cause "abject misery" for many people.
