Funded by the Children's Workforce Development Council (CWDC), it will be run by the National Council for Voluntary Youth Services (NCVYS) and forms part of the Young People's Workforce Reform Programme.

NCVYS chief executive Susanne Rauprich said the scale of the programme means it will "be able to reach valuable members of the workforce who have had no access to training".
There will be 25,000 training places available across five different courses, focusing on learning and development, safeguarding, health and safety, promoting access to information, and equality and diversity.
