Kilkenny County Childcare work to provide relevant, accessible and affordable in-service training opportunites to all childcare providers, childminders, childcare workers and childcare students within Kilkenny.
We do this by:
- Ensuring a wide range of relevant, high quality in-service training events are made available to the sector each year
- Organising, where possible, easily accessible training venues
- Holding the majority of events in the evening or weekends in an effort to facilitate participants working arrangements
- Subsidising the cost of events for Kilkenny participants in order to make training more affordable
