Early childhood education and care (ECEC) services and educators in training can now connect with each other on our new practicum exchange network.
The practicum exchange network is a dedicated website where ECEC services and educators in training can search for and arrange practicum exchange opportunities.
Practicums help ECEC educators in training gain practical, workplace experience in an early childhood educational setting.
Generally, practicums:
- are mandatory to become a qualified ECEC educator
- must be partly completed outside of an educator’s primary ECEC service.
Practicum exchanges can foster diverse experience and knowledge, networking and support opportunities and skill and knowledge transfer. They can be challenging for some, particularly students in rural and remote areas with few or no other services nearby.
On our new website, you can:
- search for services and educators with availability in your area
- connect with each other and arrange practicum exchanges.
