Make your dreams a reality with Career Progression Coaching from Penguin Childcare Agency Staff

If you have been working in the childcare sector you will be aware of the changes that are slowly but surely being implemented to make working with children a viable profession for those who are passionate about Early Education and School Age Care. For years the career ladder in childcare has been static, with the glass ceiling firmly fixed above the heads of those who were most qualified to take the sector from where it was to where it needed to be.

At Penguin we childcare agency staff passionately believe in the potential that each staff member has to grow within their field and have proven that there is more to childcare than the linear career path we are familiar with.

We provide one to one coaching for those currently in or considering joining the childcare sector in Ireland. We work with you to establish your career goals, identify the skills required to achieve them, and show you how to use your experience to your advantage.
Let us help you to get your qualification recognised, develop your skills and give your career path the direction it has been missing.
