Bright future in health care and childcare
THE health care industry in Malaysia is constantly growing, especially in this day and age, where the population is faced with constant health threats.
The childcare industry is also gaining attention of late, due to improper care given by unqualified childhood providers.
With both parents being forced to work, all communities are in constant need of qualified practitioners.
SEGi University Group is now providing a unique qualification that enables individuals to enter both the health care and childcare industries with the Health Care and Child Care programme (HCC).
This programme enables graduates to enjoy the best opportunities in both the health care and childcare industries.
There is a greater awareness of health that has resulted in more demand for qualified health care professionals.
Careers in the health care industry have become very lucrative in the last decade because of the excellent pay and perks.
Also, graduates of the programme can change and affect the lives of others in a positive manner on a daily basis.
Benefits are also equally great if graduates opt to enter the childcare profession.
Many preschools operate on an average of six hours on weekdays, giving graduates the perfect work-life balance.
The childcare profession also provides the opportunity to touch the lives of young children by providing them good guidance as they grow and learn.
According to statistics from the government, a large number of private preschool teachers do not have formal qualifications in ECCE (Early Childhood Care and Education), so there is a huge potential for career advancement.
SEGi University Group has a working relationship with experts in these industries.
SEGi is well-known as Malaysia’s leader in ECCE since 1999 and is also one of Malaysia’s highly reputable health science institutions.
SEGi also has a strong reputation as Champion of Entry Point Project (EPP) 2 of Education National Key Economic Areas (NKEA) to promote and train ECCE practitioners in Malaysia.
This programme fulfils the government’s call to produce more health care and ECCE graduates.
Employment opportunities are aplenty for graduates of this programme, which include jobs at homes for the aged, children’s welfare homes, kindergartens and health service organisations.
Parents might also want to take this opportunity to learn about healthcare and childcare.
