The bursaries, offered through NYA and its regional partners, will enable young people to build their skills and confidence working with children and teenagers in a range of youth work settings, such as schools, healthcare and secure environments.

Some 570 placements will be available for level two and level three qualifications in youth work, and up to 130 places will be on offer for the new level four certificate in professional development, which is aimed at those wishing to develop their career in allied services working with young people such as social workers and the police force.
