A total of 12 students from Bergzicht Training and Development recently graduated from the institution’s Edu Care Programme and are now available to take up positions as education assistants at a number of educational facilities. As part of their training our graduates complete a 13-week programme covering a range of important topics like child development, perception challenges, age-appropriate creative activities, literature for different stages of childhood development, baby care, and preparing a balanced meal. They also complete a certified two-day Level 1 First Aid course and a work-integrated learning opportunity at an Educare institution to gain valuable practical experience in the classroom. Through the programme our graduates are equipped to become education assistants at crèches and day care centres, in children’s playgroups, and to work as au pairs.
