Discover the Power of Youth Work Apprenticeships with NYA’s Workforce Team!

This webinar will unpack how high-quality apprenticeship pathways align with the National Youth Strategy and support a more qualified, confident and sustainable youth workforce.

We’ll guide you through the real-world steps to bringing an apprentice into your organisation, covering funding, provider partnerships, programme design and the support structures that set apprentices up for success.

You’ll also hear first-hand insights from Steve Walker, Programme Lead at the University of Cumbria, alongside a current apprentice, offering a grounded perspective on what effective training looks like in practice and the impact it’s already having on young people’s lives.

This year, 12 Members of Youth Parliament from across the UK are leading an inquiry into PSHE education in secondary schools – supported by UK Parliament, Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), and the National Youth Agency.

The Youth Select Committee called for evidence from experts and organisations about how PSHE is taught, teacher support, the impact of knowledge gaps and the importance of political education.

The Youth Select Committee are thankful to leading experts and organisations for providing evidence:

Penny Lamb - Votes for Schools

Matteo Bergamini MBE - Shout Out UK

Lucy Emmerson - S*x Education Forum

Matthew Hopkinson - Department for Education

Jenny Barksfield - PSHE Association

Darren Northcott - NASUWT

Sophie Smith - Valentines High School

Sophie King-Hill - University of Birmingham

John Reese - PSHE Solutions

The Committee are now using the findings as the foundations of their inquiry. The final report will be presented directly to UK Government. This is youth voice at the heart of democracy.
