Join us this week as we chat to Claudio Sisera from Male Childcare and Teaching Jobs
In the episode, we discuss equality in early years employment and explore the challenges and opportunities for men working in early years and childcare roles.
We also discuss gender inclusivity at work and the possible reasons that we still see such disparity in the numbers of men entering the early years workforce, with Froebel Trust estimating that there are fewer than 2% of the early years workforce who identify as male, and that that number is currently in decline.
What can we do about it? Claudio has some ideas, and talks us through how Male Childcare and Teaching Jobs are working to make meaningful change. Come in and join us as we explore the possible solutions and try to better understand how we can help.
We'll be back with a whole new episode on Wednesday 26 June.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
