School boards of state or state-integrated schools and kura can apply to establish an employment-based trainee teacher (EBTT) position.

Employment-based initial teacher education (EBITE) attracts high-calibre students into teaching and equips them with the skills and knowledge they need to meet the needs of diverse learners.  

Students participating in employment-based teacher training (EBTT) have the flexibility to study around time spent in the classroom. It enables trainee teachers to earn while they learn, build confidence with more in-classroom experience and be supported by a strong mentoring programme.
