New reports on youth work training published

Two new reports have been recently published following the national seminar on youth work training held at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh in September:

• A Kaleidoscope Of Youth Work Training Update 2005-2009
• Towards a manifesto for the youth work workforce in Scotland

Also, a new introductory level qualification for the sector -The Professional Development Award in Youth Work - was launched at the conference by SQA. See the FAQ sheet on the award.

More information and outcomes from the seminar including video footage and information on youth work training is available here.
