Early Years Career Progression Pathways (EYCPP), part-funded by the European Social Fund, is a programme designed to provide you with the vital skills required to excel within the Early Years and Childcare sector.

Bringing together expertise from Birmingham City University (BCU), Newman University, West Smethwick Enterprise (WSE) and Barnardo's, the partnership will deliver an innovative programme of free tailored skills workshops and webinars.

How does EYCPP work?

Once you have completed the form, you will be matched with a dedicated Skills Adviser who will work closely with you to identify and address your skills requirements. As part of your personalised development planning, you will also be advised on the learning opportunities available through the partnership, to find the best courses suited for your career aspirations.
