If you’ve had to leave school because you’re pregnant or need to care for your child, Chisholm TAFE Frankston can help. The VCE Vocational Major Young Parents program is for pregnant or parenting people aged 15 to 25 wanting to complete year 11 or 12. You can bring your children to class and will be supported by a VCE teacher, early childhood educator and family support worker in a flexible learning environment.
You’ll be able to access help and advice from a range of experts on parenting, early childhood development, financial literacy and counselling, mental health, well-being, legal issues, housing and more.
You and other young parents can tailor the curriculum to your own interests and needs as you complete year 11 or 12. You’ll also get direct industry experience as you complete your VET qualifications in such areas as barista training, first aid, responsible service of alcohol, and safe food handling, thereby developing the skills necessary to join the workforce.
You can explore parenting and join early childhood workshops run by the early childhood educator and such agencies as maternal child and health, and receive mentoring in the 3A Early Years Literacy program along with any other parenting-related issues.
Classes are held from 9am-2.30pm three days a week and enrolments are ongoing throughout the year. To learn more, phone Maree on 0477 885 150 or Suzanne on 0412 555 397.
