Child Care

1. Opportunities / Thoughts

1.1. Maybe try working with organisations to get placements while they do the course so that we help the learner after course ends with a list of providers who accept placements to start apprenticeships.

1.2. So we teach them the basics then the nursery accepts them after course finishes with basic knowledge so they can start an apprenticeship which saves the nursery having to pay proper staff and we get money from the learner for doing the course

1.3. The course opens to the doors to potential clients a.k.a nurseries who would be willing to do apprenticeships with individuals who have the basic eyears knowledge from the course. You work on partnership with these nurseries to get them more apprentices but as soon as the course finishes the learner has to liase with the nursery about apprenticeships

1.4. List of Eyears that would support us and at the end of the course they can take on people but they would have to be happy with the standard and content- collab teaching.

1.5. So it's saying do the course and we can help you get a placement

8.1. The introductory programme could be offered to all individuals regardless of GCSE’s or equivalent qualifications, as this could encourage an increased intake, as opposed to just applying to Gloscol. Gloscol offer an introductory with 3 GCSE’s, so it’s important to advertise versatility to appeal to school leavers or drop outs returning to education
