Government partners with Channel 4 to promote early years

The Department for Education has partnered with Channel 4 to promote the benefits of a career in early education and childcare.

The series How To Love Your Job features on Channel 4’s YouTube, Instagram and Facebook channels and is also available via streaming. Featuring Anna Williamson, professional life coach, author, and podcaster, the programmes encourage people to move into a career in early education.
