Preparing for implementation

Presenter: Karen Kearns, Author and CEO of International Child Care College (ICCC)

We recently held a fascinating webinar with guest speaker Karen Kearns discussing the new CHC20 training package for Early Childhood Education and Care. During the webinar Karen and her team provided some clarity on aspects of the long-awaited training package and presented an overview of what we know is coming. Participants were encouraged to provide input on the challenges that TAFEs and RTOs face when rolling out a new training package, and to share their thoughts on implementing the first major training package update for Early Childhood in more than six years.

It was a vibrant discussion! We didn’t want you to miss out
