Welcome back to the podcast! Today we're looking outside the world of teaching to find out about other professionals who work with young people. Julia Rooney works on the Youth and Community programmes here at Cardiff Met, and she joined us down the line to discuss the many and varied roles that youth workers play in the lives of some of our most vulnerable young people. We hear about how new youth workers are trained, and how the teaching profession can make best use of their knowledge about the young people in our classrooms.

If you're considering youth work as a career, why not check out the courses available (from foundation level right up to postgraduate) here at Cardiff School of Education and Social Policy?
