Supports for the early childhood workforce

New guide to help early childhood professionals find the support they need to develop or upskill.

We have developed a new guide to help early childhood professionals navigate a range of funded programs available to support early childhood teachers (ECTs), educators and service leaders.

The Support for the Victorian early childhood workforce guide is divided into 4 sections to make finding the right support easier.

The sections are:

  • Supports for early career ECTs and educators
  • Supports for experienced ECTs and educators
  • Supports for leaders
  • Financial supports available.

These supports include professional development and networking opportunities, coaching, upskilling and leadership supports.

The guide features written case studies and links to short videos where early childhood professionals that have accessed the department’s programs share their experiences.

It also includes initiatives led by the Australian Government Department of Education, the Victorian Institute of Teaching and Beyond Blue to provide a high-level overview of the broader range of supports available.

Please share the link to the guide with your networks and encourage them to consider how the supports can help their professional growth and development.
