This means the creation of more than <strong>4,000 new early childhood teacher roles<\/strong> and <strong>2,000 new educator roles<\/strong> across the state.<\/p>\n<p>Every early childhood career has one thing in common \u2013 the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children and their families. As a growing, dynamic sector, early childhood education offers plenty of chances to take your career in lots of different directions.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on where you are in your educational journey, there are a number of ways to achieve your goal of becoming an early childhood teacher.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>If you are a secondary school student or have never studied before, you can complete an undergraduate early childhood qualification.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To enrol in an undergraduate early childhood qualification, such as a Bachelor in Early Childhood Education, you usually need a Secondary Certificate of Education. In Victoria, this is your Victorian Certificate of Education or VCE. Most undergraduate courses take four years of full-time study to complete.<\/p>\n<p>You can apply through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) or direct to a university. Most universities offer both February and mid-year intake.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>If you hold a Certificate III or Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, you may be able to gain credit towards your undergraduate early childhood qualification. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Universities may recognise this as prior learning when you enrol, reducing the number of subjects you&#8217;ll need to study and how long your degree will take to complete. Contact your local university for more information.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>If you are a primary school teacher or hold a bachelor degree in another field, you can complete a postgraduate early childhood qualification. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps you\u2019ve finished an undergraduate degree and decided you want to become an early childhood teacher, or you\u2019re considering a career change. If you\u2019ve completed a bachelor qualification in any field, you can apply for a postgraduate qualification in early childhood teaching (such as a Master of Teaching [Early Childhood] or Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Teaching). This can take up to two years of full-time study to complete.<\/p>\n<p>Different universities have different enrolment requirements and study options, so contact your local university to find out more.<\/p>\n<p>There are flexible study options available so you can study on-campus or online to suit your needs. To find a University near you, explore the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vic.gov.au\/make-difference-early-childhood-teaching\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">early childhood education study map<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve completed your qualification in early childhood education, you\u2019ll need to register with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT). To find out more, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vit.vic.edu.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Victorian Institute of Teaching<\/a> website.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re starting your study, considering upskilling or changing careers, or already studying your undergraduate early childhood qualification, there are a range of <strong>financial support packages available<\/strong>. You can apply online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.education.vic.gov.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">education.vic.gov.au<\/a> at any time of the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Employment incentives are also available<\/strong> to attract bachelor-qualified teachers to work in the local government areas where Three-Year-Old Kindergarten is rolling out in 2020.
