Rationale For the Offer for the Programme
The Commonwealth Youth Programme Caribbean Centre ( CYPPC ) has provided a figure of specialised preparation programmes for young person work practicians in the part over the last 35 old ages. These programmes have been delivered in partnership with Ministries/Departments of Youth, the University of Guyana and the University of the West Indies. While there has been enfranchisement at the Certificate and Diploma degrees CYPSS has besides held a figure of customized workshops for senior authorities functionaries, youth workers and young person leaders.
Recognizing the demand to foster professionalise young person development work in the part CYPPC implemented its ‘ enhanced Youth Work Education and Training scheme which included: The completion of Regional Competency Standards for Youth Development Work in June 2010. These criterions were developed in partnership with Heart Trust NTA, immature people themselves, Ministries/Departments of Youth, CARICOM, University of the West Indies and other stakeholders. These groups were used to inform the scope of makings for young person workers, from certification to post alumnus makings, within the CARICOM regional makings model and besides provided a baseline for enlisting procedures and pulling up occupation specifications.
The Commonwealth Youth Programme Caribbean Centre ( CYPPC ) signed a Memorandum of Understanding in January 2010 with the University of Ghana and the University of the West, Open Campus? Indies to present self financing offerings of the Diploma in Youth Work. In March 2010, the Commonwealth Youth Programme Caribbean Centre initiated treatments with the University of Guyana, the University of the West Indies, and other duly accredited third establishments to research the possibilities for offering undergraduate and post alumnus degree preparation in young person development.
Initial treatment centered on the acknowledgment of a young person worker class by the relevant province bureaus in each member province ; the development of a Code of Ethics for Youth Development Workers, easing the formation of national and regional associations of young person work practicians.
In order to work optimally with immature people, the intensive, complex and demanding nature of young person work requires youth workers to possess and show a high degree of cognition, accomplishment and self-development. The demographic imperative- the huge and turning youth population – ensures that we pay attending to immature people, non ever for the right grounds, and sometimes for our ain selfish terminals, but we pay attending no less. Often, youth workers are perceived as those whose function it is to maintain immature people out of the manner, supply diversion and merriment for them and by and large maintain people off the streets. There is small understanding and even less grasp that Youth Work is a typical field of pattern and a extremely demanding professional accomplishment which carries with it considerable duties and force per unit areas ( 2001 presentation: Diploma Partners by Helen Jones and Cristal de Saldanha ) .
To frequently the youth instruction argument has been dominated by those who are already qualified and well-established in their chosen field, instead than the new coevals of workers who have the right to act upon future developments. Clearly, there is a argument to be had about how best to fit people with the accomplishments, cognition, acknowledgment and position to get the necessary professional expertness and go on to be rooted in their ain communities. However, it is besides really of import to see how these people can be given movable accomplishments and cognition, acknowledgment and accreditation so that they have the freedom and ability to pattern in other countries of the state. ( Martin Notley for CYO, 1997 )
Young person refers to the period marked by a scope of alterations happening in the life of worlds as they transition between in-between adolescence and early childhood. The phrase is marked by intense physicalogical, sexual, and rational alterations. It is imperative that this phase of life be managed efficaciously as environmental and societal influences can badly impact the overall development of the stripling and this un bend causes strain on the economic, societal, and emotional wellbeing of society. Youth development is centered on edifice personal and societal independency, cognition of ego and intent and in developing in young person positive features needed by his society.
The 2010 CARICOM Commission on Youth Development ( CCYD ) defines the term as the development phase that occurs between center and adolence ( 14 to 15 ) and maturity. It is hard to find when adolenscence terminals and maturity Begins hence the term young person is used to mention to this phase of life. The definition of young person varies harmonizing to subject and usage, nevertheless, for the intent of this paper and the programme, young person refers to individuals between 15 and 24, which is the recognized definition of young person by the United Nations. The Caribbean has no regional definition for young person as there are fluctuations within and among member provinces with respects to vote, age of bulk and other legal grownup mileposts. The absence of a regional definition for young person makes it complicated to organize and intergrate regional policies and programmes. However, it is accepted that there are challenges confronting individuals transitioning from adolence and maturity and that there is a demand for the developmental attack to run intoing the demands of this particular.
