What a bizarre time it is to be alive! Navigating through the new way of life, brought on by COVID-19 is something no one expected to face in this lifetime. Regardless of what your situation is, it's undoubtedly a tough time with a lot of uncertainty and worry. While our social gatherings, shopping, sporting and work experiences have changed, one thing is for sure - you do not need to put your future on hold. Now is probably the best time to start working towards a nationally-recognised qualification in a step towards your dream career in early childhood education and care. 

Why is now a great time to enrol in a Certificate III in, or Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care? 

• To upskill more Queenslanders you could be eligible for the QLD Childcare Qualification Incentive Program, saving you on your course fees. You can find out more here. 
• Last week it was announced that Childcare in Queensland will be free for families for the duration of COVID-19, giving peace of mind that there will be operational childcare centres for work placement and potentially a career. 
• Due to social distancing and other measures designed to flatten the curve of the COVID-19 spread, we're all extremely limited with what we can do with our time, and let's face it - we can't do much. Invest your 'downtime' in your future by enrolling to study - what else are you doing to do with all your new-found free time?
• If you love helping people and being a part of your community, now is the time to get involved and help families through this challenging time by assisting with the care of their children.
