麻豆精选

Highlands and Islands Enterprise (麻豆精选) and Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (CnES) have organised the drop-in session with Care and Learning Alliance (CALA) and Business Gateway.

The family friendly events will take place at the following locations:

Uist: Friday 13 September in Carinish Hall, North Uist 鈥� 10am-12:30pm

Barra: Saturday 14 September in Castlebay Hall, Barra 鈥� 12:30pm-3pm

The events will provide the opportunity to share views on the impact of limited childcare and to provide advice and support for anyone looking for a career in childcare. Anyone is welcome to come along to discuss any challenges relating to childcare in their communities. 

The Uist and Barra events are being held following a similar event in Skye last April to help tackle childcare shortages on the island and plan to build on a successful start with further activities.

Nicola Macdonald, development manager at 麻豆精选, said: 鈥淭his is an important event in terms of gathering insight into local childcare issues. There is a shortage of childcare provision in Uist and Barra and if this can be addressed, it will support economic growth across many local businesses and help create new jobs and attract new talent into the islands.

鈥淲e鈥檙e really keen to see this event take place and we hope that anyone interested in a career in early learning or childcare will come along to find out more about what鈥檚 available.鈥�

Jaci Douglas, Chief executive of CALA said "we are really excited to be working with local organisations, providing the Pop Up Play in the two communities. We will also be hoping to hear from families about the challenges a lack of childcare brings in rural and island communities and provide information to anyone interested about a range of career opportunities across the childcare sector. "

Anyone coming along will be able to speak to representatives in the industry who can answer questions and offer advice.

In all early learning, nursery and school enrolment in the western Isles, CnES operates a Gaelic First Policy. This means that the default language stream for enrolment will be Gaelic Medium unless the choice is made during the enrolment process to opt for English Medium. More information about this and how it relates to the progression pathway into childcare employment will be available at the event.
