Hi Cindy, If I were you, I would look up job advertisements and see what qualifications and experience they are looking for. In my case, a Cert 1V in Leisure and Health or Leisure and LIfestyle was usually the minimum requirement. As a part of the course, a 90 hour placement was required. This is where you get the best on the job experience to complement your studies and if you impress the supervisor you can ask them to be a referee when applying for jobs! Good luck :-)
Nice activity but it seems to be inferring that people don't use clothes lines anymore?!! Is this true?! The only difference now is that most people don't bother about "etiquette" now-a-days and if someone does judge the way you hang your clothes, you know they are the one with the problem! ;-) It will be interesting discussing some of the old stories though.
I love this site, there is always an idea, quiz or craft that I can use or modify for my programs. After 35 years as an Activation Coordinator/Senior Facilitator, I am now semi-retired and running programs for individuals and small groups on Zoom (Mind Challenge/Theme Conversations & Your Story).
Love the forum idea and can see it being a real support to each other - wonderful to see the smiling faces, caring and positive attitudes that this field endangers!
Congratulations and thanks to the Golden Carers Team for a professional and well designed website that is internationally useful and user friendly!
