Back in June, 18 young learners interested in a career
in childcare joined YMCA Training Chester on its Engagement
Programme.
Whilst on the programme, the learners experienced many exciting
activities including, sessions about sign language, Every Child
Matters and Equality and Diversity.
The learners also completed a number of team building exercises
which included treasure hunts in the local area, cooking activities
and working together to build bridges out of spaghetti and jelly
babies.
They finished the programme last week by completing booklets
about their experience at YMCA Training, and having a party to
celebrate every learner securing a work placement in local
nurseries.
All of the learners are now working towards completing a Level 1
Certificate in Caring for Children.
