The Early Learning and Care Council of Australia (ELACCA) is one of nine organisations selected to deliver the recently announced Qualifications Pathways Program (QPP) in Queensland.
The QPP will provide hundreds of early childhood educators with scholarships and support to upskill to a Bachelor qualification, and is part of the Queensland Early Childhood Workforce Strategy.
“(The Strategy) will be critical to strengthening the early learning workforce, for the benefit of children and families across the state,” Elizabeth Death, CEO of ELACCA said.
“We congratulate Premier Miles and Minister Farmer on this investment in the future of Queensland.”
“We are very pleased to be one of nine organisations selected to deliver the QPP in Queensland,” she added. “Our experience and expertise in supporting educators to upskill and to extend their professional learning makes this program a great fit for ELACCA.”
Educators from ELACCA’s member organisations, amongst others, will be welcomed to the program, which will commence in the coming months.
ELACCA currently delivers the ITE Boost program, which supports educators to balance work and study, helping them to attain an initial teacher education (ITE) qualification and pursue their dreams of working as an early childhood teacher.
“High-quality early learning depends on qualified, experienced educators and teachers. With strong support from government, employers and organisations like ELACCA, we can build and sustain a thriving early learning workforce,” Ms Death said.
