Rogue Community College is now enrolling students for a fast-track Early Childhood Education (ECE) program that will be offered this fall.
Designed to quickly prepare individuals for work with infants, toddlers and preschoolers, the program is funded by a grant that will cover tuition and books for 30 students.
A short informational video is available at "roguecc.edu/FastTrack." Prospective students should complete the questionnaire on that page to receive information about the application process and Zoom information sessions.
The program offers a supportive, hands-on learning experience for those interested in becoming early childhood educators or teaching assistants. Students can begin working in the field in as little as one academic term.
In just one term, students can complete a Basic Certificate to qualify as a teaching assistant. Students who continue in the program can earn an Intermediate Certificate in two additional terms, preparing them to take on lead teaching roles.
This opportunity is ideal for individuals seeking a stable and rewarding career working with young children. A criminal background check is required prior to employment in early childhood settings.
