Getting Skilled in Children's Services
Interested in a career in child care?
The Diploma of Children's Services is now available - which might just be perfect for you!
Skillsone visited the "Little Peter's Child Care Centre" in Casula, Sydney to talk to Karen McKneight (ACCCO), Ann-Maree Vukasin (Centre Director) and Vanessa Slattery to find out more about the Diploma.
Australian Child Care Career Options (ACCCO) is an industry-based registered training organisation that provides qualifications in Childcare's Services, Out of School Hours Care and Community Services Work.
In November 2007 the NSW State Government signed off on the Diploma in Children's services. The Diploma is undertaken as a two year traineeship. The traineeship is beneficial both for those already working in the industry who wish to upgrade their qualifcations and new employees looking to begin a career in Children's Services.

WorldSkills Australia Nationals - Brisbane 2010 - Restaurant Services
"Look out London here comes Australia" are Kate Crocker's words as she competes in the Restaurant Services competition at WorldSkills. She originally decided to compete at the WorldSkills to compete with her sister who came third in a previous year and now that she has made it this far has sparked jealousy and pride from her.
Choosing to do Hospitality in Year 11 she spent one night a week at Tafe going over the basics such as Silverware and table setting. It was from here that her passion grew and love for the industry. She warns that people shouldn't underestimate the trade. It is so much more than waiting tables as she puts it. It is about engaging and working with diners to give them a great experience in learn from what they might want to share.In the future she would like to work on an Island and even open her own restaurant with her chef friend Matt. If Kate wins WorldSkills she admits that the first thing she will do is most likely cry.
