Men Can Care, based in Paisley, began recruiting in January. Since then, 34 men have completed the 39-week programme and gained a level 3 Scottish Progression Award in working with children and young people, and 25 of them have now moved on to an upskilling programme to take either an HNC in social care or the SVQ level 3 in working with children and young people.
Men Can Care is a full-time training and work experience programme offering men a recognised qualification in child and youth care. Students receive tuition for two days a week and spend the remaining three days in a work placement, for which they receive a fixed salary. The project also covers childcare costs and helps out with travel expenses.
