Wales expands childcare training scheme

Wales has launched the second phase of a government-funded scheme giving participants the chance to trial a career in childcare.

The Childcare Works project will be delivered by the National Day Nurseries Association Cymru and will train people aged 25 or over, providing them with supported placements in nursery for 16 weeks.

The project will run until December 2020 and will train up to 84 people in 10 local authority areas in Wales.

The areas are: Conwy, Wrexham, Gwynedd, Anglesey, Cardiff, Caerphilly, Newport, Torfaen, Swansea and Neath Port Talbot. 

NDNA Cymru is seeking applicants who are currently not in employment or education and who are interested in taking part in the project.

Childcare Works is part of the Welsh Government’s 10-year Childcare, Play and Early Years Workforce plan to professionalise the sector and encourage high quality new entrants.
