A career in Training and Development
Employment opportunities for education and training professionals are diverse and in demand, in and outside the classroom. A degree in the education and training field can be a rewarding and stable profession that sees you make a difference to lives and inspire futures.
The staff at UNE were fantastic to deal with, they were there to help with any questions and the support from professional staff was amazing.
The course not only prepares you for life within the classroom, but also has a strong focus on the holistic development of students.
Education is an antidote to a lot of the problems remote communities and towns face. I'd like to continue to be a part of the positive changes we are seeing in Central Australia.
Education and Training employment is expected to increase to 2023, influenced by growth in the school aged population, continued strength in international education and the increasing demand for adult and community education. Furthermore, a relatively large share of workers who are aged 55 years or older (22%) indicates that retirements will create opportunities in the industry over the next decade.
