Strengthening Australia’s Early Childhood Workforce
Australia’s early childhood education and care (ECEC) sector is at a critical juncture.
A project by HumanAbility aims to review and update foundational vocational qualifications, aligning training with evolving workforce needs, supporting career pathways, and ensuring educators have the necessary skills.
Key Objectives
- Better align training with evolving workforce needs
- Support meaningful career pathways
- Equip educators with the skills demanded by the modern sector
The HumanAbility initiative will review and update core “entry-level” and “intermediate” vocational credentials for educators across Australia’s ECEC settings.
The project seeks to ensure that these credentials remain responsive to current and emerging skills and role expectations.
