Men - We Want to Hear Your Thoughts
on Working in the Early Years

"quote from Michael Ward"

What's stopping you from a career working with children?

There is a strong need for more men, and in particular Black men, to work in the Early Years Sector.

Seeing these men in a caring, supportive and teaching role is incredibly valuable for all children, in particular for young boys from underrepresented communities who may lack role models that they can relate to. At Orange Moon Training we are passionate about getting more men, especially those from Black communities, into the sector. We want to better understand some of the barriers to this, so we are calling on all men to fill out the survey below and share their thoughts!

Please note this survey is for research purposes only, we will not collect your personal data and your answers will remain anonymous.

Orange Moon Training are a Black-owned business based in Nottingham, and delivering childcare & education training programmes across England.

We offer everything from entry-level courses for those with little to no previous experience or qualification, to Post Graduate Teacher Apprenticeships for those who want to train as a full time teacher. For more information about how you can get involved and train to work with children, explore our courses below.

Unfortunately you will be unable to enrol onto an apprenticeship without a current employer who is willing to support your development through the programme.

You may wish to approach local settings directly to enquire whether they would be interested in supporting an apprenticeship. Should you identify a setting willing to do so, we would be pleased to support both you and the setting with your apprenticeship training.

Good luck and we hope to speak to you again in the very near future.
