The job description for childcare workers was adapted to reflect the current societal and social conditions of the labor market with the 2017 revision of the curriculum.Training to become a childcare educator is completed at the Technical College for Social Services, specializing in social pedagogy.
The growing demand for specialized support and care for children, adolescents, and young adults makes this profession very interesting and attractive. In this context, the profession is increasingly opening up to male applicants as well. The days of training to become a “traditional female early childhood educator in daycare settings” are no longer the sole focus of the job profile. The approach to integration and inclusion will offer long-term career opportunities and secure jobs for educators of all backgrounds. The guidance, care, and support provided to children, adolescents, and young adults fill an educator’s daily work with personal responsibility, dedication, empathy, acceptance, and tolerance.
Those who see their future in this profession will have a fulfilling career ahead of them and will serve as a guide—both socially and educationally—for many future clients in their chosen field of work.
It is a wonderful profession that carries a very high level of responsibility toward the clients entrusted to your care. Every workday presents a childcare educator with new challenges, because no two workdays are ever the same. You’re dealing with people, and they present themselves anew every day—with their sorrows, worries, problems, and joys. Once you step into your facility, you never know exactly what to expect. This feeling is challenging; but face it head-on and make the best of it for your clients. Don’t worry—you can do it, and you’ll always have a strong team by your side.
