    See message below from the Department for Education:

    We are currently working on a project to develop tailored content specifically for early years apprentices. Our aim is to keep apprentices motivated and well-informed throughout their course, building on the success of similar initiatives in other sectors. 

    To ensure this content is relevant and engaging, we're inviting apprentices to take part in user research sessions. Your help in identifying apprentices from any settings in your area who might be interested in participating would be greatly appreciated. This is also open to those who have recently completed an early years apprenticeship.  

     Details: 

    • Session: Conducted online.  
    • Duration: Around 45 minutes, scheduled at a time that works for the apprentice. 
    • Activities: We’ll ask apprentices to share their thoughts through a few questions and to review the content we’ve created. 

    The feedback from these sessions will be used to refine our content to better meet the needs of early years apprentices.

    If you know of any apprentices in your local settings who would like to participate, please ask them to complete this form by Friday 28 February. If they are selected, we will be in touch to provide more information. 

    Thank you for your support.
