Young people considering their career options often look at the job opportunities before deciding which course to study. One area of growth that has plenty of study options as well as job opportunities is training to be an early childhood teacher. Once you are trained in the field you have a wide range of options to work in kindergartens, preschools, in home childcare positions and many more. It's a fun and rewarding career with plenty of opportunity for advancement. Looking through any newspaper or internet job site will reveal a wide range of early childhood teacher vacancies. This is because it's a growing area of employment, with many parents needing to return to the workforce before their children have reached school age.
Study options for those wanting to take advantage of the early childhood teacher vacancies include full time courses, part time courses and online courses. In each case, a large component of the course includes working in a centre to gain practical experience. This is a great idea because you can see quickly whether you are suited to the role as well as finding out about the different centres and getting information about which ones might suit you once you are in the market for a permanent job.
To apply for teacher vacancies, you need to become a qualified and registered early childhood teacher by gaining a diploma of teaching, a graduate diploma of teaching or a bachelor of teaching. Each of these qualifications needs to be specific to this specific field.
Career opportunities for those wishing to work with preschool children are extensive. Early childhood education centres can be found in cities, towns and rural areas. They vary from stand alone centres which are run privately to centres which are part of a large organisation such as the kindergarten association. Teacher vacancies can also be found as part of hospitals, schools, gymnasiums and large places of employment. These days there is also a big increase in the number of organisations offering in home education services for preschool children. This means you can train to care for children in your own home while you are looking after your own children. Many parents of young children find this a great way of earning money while they stay at home. When their children go to school, they may continue to look after other children at home or apply for jobs in childcare centres.
It's a great career option for men and women of all cultures and ages who enjoy working with children and realise the importance of early childhood education.
