About this Course
EMPATHISE. ENGAGE. EMPOWER.
Empower young people to reach their potential. Youth Workers and Pastoral Care Workers can find employment in community, government or youth agencies. The dual qualification in CHC40413 Certificate IV in Youth Work / CHC42315 Certificate IV in Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care develops the student’s skills to mentor and support young people as they make positive changes in their lives. The qualifications provide skills and knowledge for person-centred approaches to caring for vulnerable people.
Both of these qualifications are nationally recognised.
Professional Outcomes
Students develop self-awareness and undertake professional supervised practice throughout the course. These skills are developed in a minimum 160-200 hour placement. Both of these qualifications are nationally recognised.
Students are required to:
- complete a minimum work requirement of 160-200 hours
- apply for a DCSI Employment screening check
- complete the Respond to Abuse and Neglect – Education Care (RAN-EC) training.
Work Placement
Students are encouraged to find their own Work Placement according to their interests and intended career paths. Over the duration of the Work Based Placement (WBP) the student’s role is that of support worker. In that capacity the student will be expected to demonstrate their ability to perform specific tasks with each client according to the organisation’s service delivery protocols. The WBP mentor will provide additional training regarding the organisation’s policy and procedures that guide the work that is done. The student will work in consultation with their mentor regarding any actions that are taken for or with clients. The way the students support work is structured will be guided by the host organisation mentor in order to meet organisation requirements. Therefore, this aspect of the WBP is not prescriptive.
