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.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
