Progress is a national project to provide 25,000 accredited training places to staff and volunteers in the children and young people’s voluntary and community sector, between September 2010 and March 2011.

G:up is the West Midlands Regional Development Agent (RDA) for Progress, which is funded by NCVYS (National Council for Voluntary Youth Services) in partnership with YMCA George Williams College, through CWDC (Children's Workforce Development Council).

Progress has come a long way in the West Midlands and is currently offering a massive range of free and highly-subsidised courses right across the region. 

Certain key Progress Documents are attached including the Units Database (all courses available for training providers to run), Core Script (all about Progress) and West Midlands Schedule (requirements for training providers and RDA) which you can read more about here, or for more information about Progress, contact G:up on progress@bayc.org or 0121 460 5870.
