Employment Outcomes

Most people choose to complete a qualification to gain employment in their chosen profession. Job growth in Queensland within Early Childhood Education and Care continues to grow with no indication of slowing down.

On the 12th of July, 2020 the SBS reported that Childcare workers are the most in demand occupation. 

Career Opportunities

In addition to having confidence that your chosen qualification will lead to employment outcomes, have you considered further into the future? What do you want to be doing in five or ten years?
