The early childhood education sector is evolving to address the growing recognition of the importance of early learning. This has resulted in a need to develop, implement and create sustainable community-based family support systems and programs in early learning. Hand-in-hand with this is the ongoing need to provide quality programs for young children within a variety of educational settings.
A webinar is an online, interactive presentation where you get to learn about Algonquin College programs directly from the faculty that built them, and the students that are currently in them. Ask questions and chat with other participants, all from the comfort of your own home. The best part - it's totally free!
Every webinar is unique, but we always strive to cover four main points: what is the program like, what does it take to achieve success in the program, what kind of career opportunities are available, and what makes the program unique.
We won't hold anything against you if something pops up on the day of the webinar. We are recording the session and will send you a recording and presentation deck after the webinar. Even if you know you can't make it that day, register to ensure you get the recording!
We know this is important to anyone coming to post-secondary education. We put a substantial amount of time showing you how this program helps you develop your career, and the potential jobs you could land with the program on your resume. We also cover any placement or co-op options available in the program.
