Rachel Wallace completed the newly-launched Department for Education’s (DfE) Skills Bootcamp course which is designed to ‘fast-track’ individuals into an early years career.
Announced in February, the bootcamps, which last up to 16 weeks, are designed to attract people into the early years sector, boosting recruitment ahead of the full rollout of the expanded entitlement.
Wallace, who has autism and ADHD, took part in a three-week bootcamp delivered by training provider Realise. It is one of a number of providers running the courses.
Wallace (pictured right), who completed the Bootcamp course in March, has now secured a job as a Level 3 early years apprentice at Kidsworld Nursery in Liverpool as a result of completing the skills bootcamp.
