Employers of child care professionals are only too aware of the skills shortage within this industry. The Federal Government’s Early Childhood Workforce Strategy aims to address this and one of its new initiatives will benefit child care centres.
The Australian Government will pay the fees of students enrolling in Central TAFE’s Diploma of Children’s Services from January 2009*.
This initiative applies to existing employees who have a Certificate III in Children's Services and want to further develop their knowledge and skills. It could also apply to any future trainees that child care centres consider employing.
Central TAFE is offering this Diploma in a range of training modes including traineeships, training in the workplace, or on campus learning, and we will work with employers to find the best solution for their service.
The quality of our training and experience of our lecturers ensures staff not only acquire a deeper understanding of children and additional skills in the workplace, but are also exposed to and embrace the ‘best practice’ principles of this profession.
To discuss how we can help you take advantage of this initiative please contact Pia Coates on 9427 3750 or Connie Borg on 9427 3854.
*Please note this fee waiver is only available through TAFE and other Government training providers.
