NCVYS launches youth work qualifications

Two new qualifications for the young people's workforce have been developed by the National Council for Voluntary Youth Services (NCVYS).

The Level 2 qualifications are designed as a foundation for staff or volunteers in the voluntary and community sector working with young people. They cover personal development, work-based skills and working with young people.  

Gethyn Williams, NCVYS director of workforce development, said: “The workforce told us they wanted qualifications that were flexible, accessible, manageable and appropriate to their roles. We’re delighted to be able to respond to these needs. 

“There are millions of volunteers and staff working with young people right across England. At a time of immense challenge for young people and the services that support them, it is vital we equip the workforce with the skills and training they need.”
