30 NovInformation for recruiting for 3-year-old service delivery in kindergartens
A reminder to services experiencing difficulty filling roles to deliver 3-year-old kindergarten programs that the Victorian Department of Education and Training has a variety of resources including a recruitment kit, an Early Childhood Jobs digital jobs board and Employment incentives to attract teachers to work in services .
Equivalent ECT recognition for school teachers is now easier due to recent changes by ACECQA. In addition, Victorian nominated skilled visas are available for early childhood teachers currently working in Victoria under the Workforce Skills Pathway
Activity group leaders (AGLs) and Transitional Funding
Current AGLs may meet the criteria for continuing to lead 3-year-old programs in 2022 and beyond (ultimately becoming degree qualified ECTs). Upskillers that are due to complete their qualification in 2022 may also qualify to lead 3-year-old programs, providing for transitional funding next year
Services are encouraged to contact their ECIB if they have exceptional circumstances or difficulties regarding staffing their 3-year-old kinder program in 2022. CLICK HERE for more information.
