Working in the child care sector can be incredibly rewarding. From forming meaningful connections with children and their families to helping children develop essential life skills, there are so many benefits to this line of work. Watching a child grow and learn over the course of their development is one of the most fulfilling experiences for any person in the sector. Additionally, working in the child care sector is often accompanied by great job satisfaction, as you know that your efforts make a real difference to those you interact with.

Job Skills’ Early Childhood Educator Assistant program is designed to provide support and training for internationally trained individuals and residents of York Region with child care credentials or experience with child care experience looking to re-enter the workforce.

Through the ECEA program, participants are provided with the education and training required to work in a licensed child care facility in Ontario that addresses current regulations/requirements and overcomes identified skills gaps and employment barriers.

The ECEA initiative is a four-week program, with sessions specific to topics and regulated requirements in child care as well as workshops, support and certifications in topics relevant to working in the child care space in Ontario.
