The Further Education (FE) sector has documented difficulties with recruitment and retention of teaching staff, as many FE colleges report having 'hard-to-fill' vacancies and high levels of churn amongst new starters. Taking Teaching Further (TTF) is a programme designed to address these issues by providing support for FE providers to recruit and train those with relevant knowledge and experience as FE teachers. Taking Teaching Further (TTF) supports further education (FE) providers to recruit those with relevant knowledge and industry experience to retrain as FE teachers. Previous rounds have given funding to support providers, constituting the 'core' TTF offer. In the sixth round (launched in April 2023), in addition to the 'core' TTF offer, a pilot of a new financial incentive (FI) was introduced for TTF recruits in some of the most hard-to-fill subject areas. The FI gives recruits £3,000 at the end of each year of the TTF programme. The 'FI subjects' are: digital; construction and the built environment; engineering and manufacturing; and maths. The Department for Education (DfE) commissioned Verian to assess the feasibility of an impact evaluation of the FI, which would answer the following three key research questions: (1) Does the introduction of the FI significantly increase teacher recruitment in FE settings?; (2) Does the introduction of the FI significantly increase teacher retention in FE settings?; and (3) What, if any, are the unintended outcomes and negative impacts of introducing the FI?
