The Princess of Wales' Centre for Early Childhood Business Taskforce have set up a specific fund to support 600 new apprenticeships within early years sector.
The Co-op Group, along with other members of the Royal Foundation’s Business Taskforce for Early Childhood, is spearheading an intervention to invest in over 600 early years apprentices.
These will span employers across the private, public, voluntary and community sectors who support the wellbeing of children aged five and under. The initiative will also help deliver the workforce required to staff the creation of 3,000 nurseries across England, says the Group.
The Group is creating a specific fund in support of early childhood, with a starting pledge of £1m from members of the Business Taskforce and a commitment to raising £5m over the next five years, with additional pledges from independent retail society Midcounties Co-op.
