The plan was published last week and further details are to follow next month. Part of the 3.3m will be used to support local workforce strategies to deliver areas of the Children's and Young People's Plan.
Jane Haywood, CWDC chief executive, said, 'This may include support for a local childminding network or training for foster carers.'
Priorities include delivering training and assessment for the new Early Years Professional status and setting up a helpline to offer professional advice. The CWDC will also be looking at how pay and conditions affect staff turnover.
It will also develop qualifications and standards for the workforce, building on the Integrated Qualifications Framework, National Occupational Standards and the Common Induction Standards.
