Early Childhood Educator vs Teacher Aide
Hi all,
I'm (27 M VIC) looking to gain experience working with children to supplement my library degree as I want to become either a Children and Youth Services Librarian or Teacher Librarian*.
I'm tossing up between the Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care and Certificate IV in School Based Education Support**, but I wasn't too which of those two pathways are right for my overall goal.
Any advice would be appreciated!
*Currently unemployed and looking for a library job, but its been hard out here, and feeling super demoralised going to interviews and being rejected because I dOnT hAvE eNoUgH eXpErIeNcE, and I need to be doing something productive and earn a living. I'm currently doing library volunteer work which has been great, but unfortunately doesn't pays. Therefore, I'm in no position to start another volunteer position in ed support or childcare.
**I am aware that I don't need a qualification to become a teacher aide, but I have thrown my resume to School Vic applicant pool, but had no luck.
