| As part of our work to promote the many career opportunities within the early years sector, we have been attending various careers fayre and meeting many (hundreds) of students. It is exciting to hear students talk about the different roles that they want to go into within early years, as well as hearing from those who are thinking about a change of direction and entering the early years workforce. We also took Best Start and a ‘50 Thing’s to Do Before You’re Five’ setup to the ‘Vision for Inclusive Education’ launch. It was great to be able to talk about what we do as a partnership, as well as share the many benefits of the 50 Things app and website. We will soon be launching a 50 Things Summer Challenge. Please keep an eye on the ’50 Things Jersey’ Facebook page for more details. |
