Riverside Early Years Training Centre
Supporting North Shields parents.
Produced for North Tyneside Council as part of the North Tyneside City Challenge, a film about the new Riverside Early Years Training Centre at North Shields. The centre provides safe and secure facilities for children of parents who are working as well as providing support for young mothers in the area. The centre also provides an after-school programme for older children as well as training in childcare.
Schools and colleges make the most of the fresh opportunities the new millennium brings.
For generations schools in the North East have prepared young people for careers in heavy industry, coal mining or the merchant navy. But with a change in the employment landscape towards the end of the 20th century educators have had to innovate to find new ways to prepare students for unpredictable futures and broader horizons.
