Australia is facing a teacher shortage. This work-as-you-learn program helps to address this by:
- making it easier for people working in Early Childhood Education to advance their career;
- reducing financial barriers to study; and
- increasing diversity in the profession by making access to higher qualifications easier.
Addressing the teacher shortage is also about making sure graduates remain in the profession. Therefore, the program focuses on a combination of caring and learning. This enables a broader cohort of potential educators to engage in further study while also allowing them to meet their caring, family and other commitments. The combination of attending classes online while also learning through placement in their workplace provides unique access to both high-level academic learning along with mentoring and support within an early childhood centre.
