With the increase in government-funded childcare, the demand for staff in the Early Years sector is growing.
In response to this, Devon County Council are working with training providers, like Realise, to offer pathways into early years careers.
Train4Tomorrow Skills Bootcamps are free to residents across Devon, aged 19 or over looking to kickstart their career, pivot into a new job or upskill in their current role.
The Bootcamps are designed with employers to build industry specific skills to support learners to progress into careers within Early Years.
They are delivered online for six to eight weeks and include paediatric first aid, which is essential to work in an early years setting, support with DBS application and safeguarding.
There are more than 70 places available for individuals looking to join the Early Years Sector and secure their next job role.
To find out more about the Early Years Skills Bootcamp and career opportunities in this sector, Realise Training is hosting a webinar on Tuesday 22 October between 12pm and 1pm. You can join the webinar on Microsoft Teams here: Join the meeting now
