C.E Scheme

Are you interested in an Early Years Qualification? A Community Employment (CE) Scheme allows you to gain education and employment side by side. Togher Family Centre will be very happy to support you in this endeavour.

MORE INFO
I would recommend the CE scheme to someone who is long-term unemployed or facing barriers to employment. The scheme helped me to rebuild my confidence and to develop new skills. The guidance, support, and opportunities I was given through the C.E scheme helped me to grow both personally and professionally.
Working on the CE Scheme helped me get back into a routine and reminded me of my capabilities. I also improved my communication and teamwork skills by working with others, and I gained new qualifications that made me feel more prepared to enter the Early Years workforce.
