The journey to reaching your career goals can be challenging and overwhelming at times, but with GOTAFE by your side, YOU’VE GOT THIS.
GOTAFE provides people with the opportunity to realise their potential and follow their passions.
For Alanna Birch, the support of her trainers combined with GOTAFE’s flexibility has allowed her to pursue her passion of childcare.
Alanna completed a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care (CHC30121) before choosing to enrol in a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care (CHC50121).
"I am so glad I chose to study with GOTAFE to complete my course, they have been so supportive — even during the tough times,” she said.
“Childcare is a great industry to be part of and there are many job opportunities available.
“I am deeply passionate about working in childcare to assist in making a positive impact on the growth and development of all children.
“It is important to provide children with a sense of security and belonging in a warm, welcoming, encouraging and stimulating environment for the learning and development to have the best impact on the lives of our future generation.”
Alanna is currently working as a room leader at Small Friends Childcare and Education in Kialla.
GOTAFE delivers early childcare courses across its entire footprint, with Seymour and Wallan campuses featuring state-of-the-art simulation labs that reflect the early childhood care service environment.
Community and family groups make use of the spaces, allowing students to gain real-world experience.
Both the Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care (CHC30121) and Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care (CHC50121) are available under the Free TAFE scheme.
Whether you are just starting out in your career, aiming for a career change, upskilling or seeking professional growth – YOU’VE GOT THIS!
