GOTAFE is partnering with the Greater Beveridge Community Centre to deliver education to community members.
The partnership will increase access to education opportunities in the area amid high growth and demand for qualified carers and educators, as the Greater Beveridge Community Centre will provide a classroom, while GOTAFE will deliver Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care.
Australia’s early childhood education and care sector has grown by more than 14,000 workers since May 2022, with a further 123,000 additional educators and teachers in the training pipeline.
GOTAFE’s coordinator of education Fiona Corish said they were pleased to be partnering with the Greater Beveridge Community Centre.
“Early childhood education has seen a steady rise in demand over the last few years,” she said.
“Education and care play a crucial role in a child’s development.
“Research has shown that quality early years education is the foundation for establishing self-esteem, resilience, healthy growth and the capacity to learn.
“It is essential for ensuring the wellbeing and future success of children, as well as for promoting positive outcomes for society.
“We are encouraging the Beveridge community to make the most of this opportunity.”
Three information sessions are scheduled for March 5 at the Greater Beveridge Community Centre.
