Earn and learn for free with Chisholm Institute!
There’s never been a better time to jump start your career in early childhood education. The Jobs Victoria Early Childhood Educators Traineeship Program is available for people interested in working in industry.
A traineeship works much like an apprenticeship. While you complete your studies you also work with an organisation where you can put your skills into practice on the job and earn a wage.
One of the biggest benefits for trainees is getting paid as you learn. For example, trainees can complete a Certificate III Early Childhood Education and Care (CHC30121) qualification at Chisholm Institute under the Free TAFE program. While studying, trainees will be matched with an early childhood centre close to home to undertake a paid traineeship.
Early childhood educator trainee Chin Chin went back to study at Chisholm for the first time in 20 years. Now, she loves working with young children and earning a wage while she learns; she’s turning the early childhood education skills she’s learning at TAFE into a career.
“I hadn’t studied for the last 20 years, but you’re never too late to learn. I feel I have a bright future ahead of me,” said Chin Chin.
The program focuses on providing opportunities for people who are:
- long-term unemployed or at risk of being long-term unemployed
- under 25 or over 45 years of age
- Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Victorians
- people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
- women
For employers, the program helps to secure talent and reduce the impact of skills shortages. Employers can also attract new and improved government incentives.
If you’re looking to start, expand, or switch your career in 2024, early childhood education might be the perfect fit for you. To learn more about the program visit www.chisholm.edu.au/education.
