Australia is facing a teacher shortage crisis. Consequently, there have been concerted efforts by governments to attract people into teaching from other sections of the workforce. However, career change teachers often do not stay longer than five years in the profession. There is little evidence on how their retention can be enhanced. This project aims to better understand the differing motivations and experiences of these teachers from diverse backgrounds, and to determine how they can be better prepared and supported through their early years of teaching. A clear benefit of this project will be the longer term success for career change teachers and their schools and will ensure young people are not disadvantaged by high teacher turnover.

澳大利亚正面临教师短缺危机。因此，各国政府做出了协调一致的努力，以吸引来自劳动力其他部门的人从事教学工作。然而，转行的教师通常不会在这一行业工作超过五年。几乎没有证据表明如何提高它们的留存率。该项目旨在更好地了解这些来自不同背景的教师的不同动机和经历，并确定如何在他们的早期教学工作中为他们提供更好的准备和支持。这一项目的一个明显好处是，转业教师和他们的学校将获得长期成功，并将确保年轻人不会因教师高流动率而处于不利地位。
