Early Learning and Care Programmes

We are currently running a promotional campaign for our Early Learning and Care programmes, which are currently delivered through Portlaoise Institute and Tullamore FETC.

As part of the campaign, we have published a blog that answers many of the questions prospective learners may have before enrolling. The blog includes a range of short videos featuring:

• Learners who returned to education to pursue a new career path
  • School leavers who chose Early Learning and Care after attending an Open Day
  • Learners who progressed to employment within the sector
  • Learners who continued their studies in higher education
  • The perspective of a local Early Learning and Care employer on the value of professional practice placements and the quality of learners entering the sector

The blog can be viewed here ...

There are also direct links within the blog for learners who wish to apply for the programme in their chosen location.

Given the continued demand for qualified Early Learning and Care professionals, we felt the learner stories and progression opportunities may be of interest to people considering their education and career options.
