Males In Early Years Seminar

Stranmillis University College are hosting an evidence-based and practice-informed webinar exploring the importance of increasing male participation in the ECE sector.

Early Childhood Care and Education is one of the most important and valuable professions anyone can enter; however, males make up less than 2% of the workforce in NI. For a number of years, Stranmillis University College has identified as a priority the need to increase the number of males entering the profession. We feel it is important to recruit men into the sector and we wish to cement its significance for Universities and Colleges, Government and policy makers, Schools, Early Childhood Care and Education Providers and stakeholder organisations, so that they target and prioritise the issue of gender imbalance in the workforce.

This webinar presents an evidence-based and practice-informed insight as to why it is important to increase male participation in the ECE sector. The webinar will feature national and international experts and provide some case studies of exemplary practice, to help professionals consider how they can contribute to this NI initiative.

The webinar will be of interest to those from a wide range of disciplines, including education (especially Preschool and Primary), Childcare, Adult Education and Training, and Sure Start, etc.
