TDA award Texunatech contract to develop a GTP Data Management System

The Training and Development Agency for Schools has awarded Texunatech with a contract to develop the Graduate Teacher Program (GTP) Data Management System. The new system will be used to attract skilled people to the school workforce through promoting the teaching profession, helping schools to recruit sufficient good quality teachers to their workforces. It will also help potential teacher trainees to find the GTP route which meets their needs and enable them to apply for a place online. Benefits will include full online application process, increasing the speed with which a trainee can apply for a programme and receive feedback on the outcome of their applications. In addition, GTP providers will have an automated and transparent process for managing all applications to GTP routes.
