Not only will you find vacancies in schools, colleges, universities, and research institutions, but also in various businesses looking to train their employees in a certain skill. If you’re passionate about helping young children socialize and grow, you can also find opportunities in the Childcare department.

If you’re interested in Education & Training but on the fence about which direction to go in, let’s break down the opportunities available in this sector:

Childcare

For those passionate about early childhood development and working with young children, toddlers, or babies to help them learn and grow, then childcare work might be the right choice. In this role, it will be your responsibility to create a safe and stimulating environment for children to thrive. The tasks will depend on the age group you’re working with, as younger kids will require more attention and assistance with simple things. To be a great childcare worker, you should have a friendly and approachable demeanor, a positive attitude, great communication skills, patience, and understanding.

To enter the field of childcare, you can usually get an entry-level position with only a high school diploma. Any degrees or experience in childhood education will be desirable but likely not mandatory. Depending on where you live, certain credentials may also be required, such as a license or certification in childcare and possibly First Aid and CPR certification.

Teacher

If you love working with children but want to be more involved in the education side of things rather than the caretaking, you may prefer a role in teaching. As a preschool teacher or an early childhood teacher, your work will be educating young minds in everything from school subjects to morals and social skills. The best teachers provide a safe space for students to learn, and make school fun and educational for kids. In some roles, you will focus on a specific subject, so if there’s an area you’re particularly passionate about you can look for those job titles, such as language instructors or math teachers.

If you like the idea of working in a school environment but are unsure about teaching, there are other positions within the education system that may be better suited for you. If you want to work with children, you may be interested in the role of coach, librarian, or counselor where you can still have hands-on experience helping children but won’t be responsible for teaching. On the other hand, if you would rather be involved in shaping the school system, you can find jobs for education coordinators, school administrators, and principals to help schools operate and function efficiently.

College & University

In higher education, there is also a range of roles and responsibilities. There are lecturers and professors who create lesson plans and lead the classroom, and teacher assistants or assistant professors who provide extra support for both the teachers and students. Apart from teaching, there are also important administrative positions within the higher education sector. Most colleges and universities function very differently from public school systems where the administration will have to work with parents and government regulations. Higher education institutions operate more like businesses, handling income and funding, marketing their courses, and coordinating between departments. Administrative roles include department heads, graduate/undergraduate coordinators, program directors, career counselors, academic advisors, admissions counselors, and more. There are plenty of opportunities to work in colleges and universities without going down the road of becoming a college professor.

If you want to work in research, you will find opportunities within education or business. Researchers can be employed by universities to make important discoveries that contribute to their field. Research assistants and research associates are also important in business to collect and analyze data so companies can make decisions on their strategy. Researchers conduct studies and surveys, create reports, analyze data and identify key findings. This is a good career option for someone who has advanced analytical and problem-solving skills, combined with strong communication and writing skills.

Training & Instructors

If you have experience in your field, perhaps you would be open to seeking a training position. As a training manager or specialist, it will be your responsibility to teach your skills to others, supervise them, and assist when necessary. This is particularly important if you have technical skills that are taught better outside of a classroom. You can have a direct and positive impact on the functioning of your company by contributing to the training of the employees.
