Doing programming as a trainee?
Posted: Mon May 02, 2016 6:50 pm
Hi!
I started doing a traineeship this year, studying towards my diploma. I have no qualifications in this industry, just worked as a casual in this centre previously. I've only just got up to my first prac in my course (still in the Cert III part of my studies).
First off, it was an absolute struggle to get study time and we never have enough staff to cover it. If it's a public holiday, I miss it. Other than that, I get the three hours a week. But they're also making me do programming. I share a room with my team leader, and she is a qualified diploma educator. We split the observation children 50/50. I've told management I'm struggling because I don't know how to do observations/with only an hour a week of programming I can't manage to keep them up to date.
As a trainee, am I meant to be doing observations?
Thanks!
