Introduction
It’s all about people. more
It’s all about people.
Social services workers are committed to enabling people to cope with the challenges they face, and bringing some security and reassurance into their lives.
DEEWR has projected employment in the Health Care and Social Assistance industry to grow at an average rate of 3.3 per cent per annum, which equates to around 211 500 new jobs in the five years to 2014-15.
As this sector is expected to see the most significant increases in the next 5 years a professional qualification offers you the chance to work in a range of different settings. There will be scope to manage your own time and make your own decisions, whilst receiving professional support and training to develop your skills.
Your career opportunities will depend on what you want to achieve, as well as your dedication and capabilities!
If you are interested in working in aged care/gerontology or allied health, we may have the courses for you.
