The Community Employment (CE) Childcare Training and Development Programme is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in childcare. The Programme provides participants with the opportunity to gain a FETAC qualification in childcare whilst also gaining practical experience working in a childcare setting.
The Programme is a 3 year programme. Over the 3 years, participants work for 19.5 hours in a childcare setting. Work placements are based in childcare settings throughout Limerick City and County.
Duties include:
At the same time, participants complete a Major Award at QQI Level 5 or 6. At the end of the programme, the successful participant will be a qualified Childcare Practitioner.
Participants are employed by PAUL Partnership during their time on the Programme and are supported by the PAUL Partnership CE Childcare Supervisory Team. Day to day supervision within the childcare setting is provided by the Manager of the Childcare setting.
You can participate on a childcare programme in Community Employment by calling your local Employment Services Office or your local Intreo Centre to set up an appointment. Your local Officer will talk to you about the programme and on the basis of an initial interview will put your name forward for the programme.
