Course aims at strategy managers

A new training programme has been devised to equip people in the early years and childcare sector with the management skills to implement the Government's ten-year childcare strategy. The Centre for Strategy and Communication's programme, which launches on 1 November, is aimed at experienced early years staff who are now obliged to take on new managerial and planning roles.

The Centre for Strategy and Communication's programme, which launches on 1 November, is aimed at experienced early years staff who are now obliged to take on new managerial and planning roles.

The course includes modules on project management, moving into management, team building, practical assertiveness, presentation skills and effective meeting skills. Each will be available as an in-house course tailored specially for the sector and will use specific examples and case studies.

All trainers on the programme will have personal experience and knowledge of the early years and childcare sector.

Liz Sewell, the centre's chief executive and the early years and childcare programme director, said it was not designed for nursery managers seeking supervisory skills but had a broader, more strategic role in equipping those at national and local level who are implementing the childcare strategy and the roll-out of children's centres.
