This will be done through free Skills Bootcamps, with Mayor Steve Rotheram saying that he wants residents to be in the best possible position to fulfil their potential.
A revolutionary early years educational programme is being celebrated by Glasgow City Council, supporting the social and emotional development wellbeing of children.
More than 390,000 children across 30 countries have been reached by the Think Equal programme and Glasgow’s initial rollout will ensure that half of all the nursery schools across the region will benefit.
Greater Manchester also adopted the programme, with it being rolled out to 965 reception classes and 659 nurseries across the region and 42,000 children benefitting.
Westmorland and Furness Council is encouraging the area’s young people to get involved with politics and democracy.
