CHC41808 Certificate IV in Youth Work
This qualification
covers workers who develop and co-ordinate programs for young people through
a range of community-based programs designed to address the social, behavioural,
health, welfare, developmental and protection needs of young people.
Such work may be undertaken through employment in community, government
and welfare agencies and will be responsible for implementing policies
and guidelines of the employing organisation. The worker will largely
be self directed and have fairly autonomous decision making capacity under
the indirect supervision of a manager. Workers at this level are required
to have an understanding of Indigenous culture and history and to work
with local communities in the provision of services.
Occupations may include:
" Community Development Worker (Youth)
" Youth and family Resource Officer
" Co-ordinator, Youth Service
" Co-ordinator, Youth and Family Services
For the CHC41808 Certificate IV in Youth Work learners must be assessed
as competent in 16 units of competency (12 core and 4 electives).
Learners finishing their participation with less than the requirements
for the full qualification will be given with a Statement of Attainment
showing the completed units.
Because units of competency are nationally recognised and are used in
a range of Community Services qualifications, they can provide a pathway
into Community Services qualifications or qualifications in related industry
sectors such as disability or aged care work. Units can also progressively
be gained to meet the requirements of other qualifications.
St. Mark's Emerald have had a solid and consistent ministry with youth
for the last few decades. They are one of the youth ministries in Australia
for whom I have enormous respect. Wayne Collins ministers with authenticity
and integrity, and I'm sure that any college associated with him will
be a huge blessing to the nation - and to the world"
