Diploma
Combine work-based training as a workplace trainee in an early childcare centre and learn the theoretical elements with formal training from Chisholm.
Students must be employed in a centre and a training contract between the employer and the trainee is required prior to enrolment.
Traineeships are a great way to be paid for work, learn and earn a qualification.
We offer this option throughout Melbourne and some regional areas within Victoria. Please contact the department to find out more!
