The two-year project will operate from five of the PLA's Neighbourhood Nurseries and provide basic skills courses alongside childcare training to help improve job chances and promote social inclusion.
Pauline Henniker, director of family programmes, said, 'The project will build on our capacity to develop skills for life. It is increasing our ability to deliver improved training for parents.'
The PLA is set to embark on the first phase of the scheme to run a tutor training programme. Tutors can gain a professional City and Guilds qualification as part of their training. Once qualified, they will run 'Getting Started Plus' courses using five of the PLA's Neighbourhood Nurseries as training hubs. Parents will have the opportunity to take national tests in literacy, numeracy and language skills.
