GOTAFE is hosting information sessions in Mitchell Shire to encourage people to study teaching early childhood education, which is an industry in high demand.
Seymour and Wallan campuses offer a simulation lab that reflects the early childhood care service environment for students completing a Certificate Three in Early Childhood Education and Care, and a Diploma of Early Education and Care, under the free TAFE scheme.
GOTAFE director of health, wellbeing and community Michelle Chiller said the available courses were an opportunity for residents interested in making a difference in the lives of young children.
“Early childhood educators play a vital role in our community. It’s a very rewarding career with room for personal development and the potential to have a long-lasting impact on the lives of young children,” she said.
“GOTAFE offers pathways to build a meaningful career in early childhood education locally. There has never been a better time to enrol, with both certificate and diploma level courses available under the free TAFE program.”
People keen to tour the simulation labs and speak to career advisors can visit Seymour GOTAFE, at 35 Wallis Street on Tuesday, from 10am to 2pm, and 3pm to 5pm.
Sessions will also take place at 57 High Street, Wallan, on Wednesday, from 10am to 12pm and 3pm to 5pm.
