Education and Childcare Sector
Jobs in the education sector vary from teaching and training to roles in learning support and youth work.
If you love being around children, the industry will be perfect for you. You are making a real difference and every day is different. It's not like the average job in an office – you are caring, interacting and of course, inspiring.
Each day, the things you say and do will make a real impact on children and young people being so impressionable. In fact, one could argue that working in childcare, along with health care, is among the most important industries in society.
Work in the sector is often seen as fulfilling, as you can witness the impact of your own skills and enthusiasm on your students.
There is currently a high demand for teachers, with opportunities for career development. The breadth of skills gained through teaching are also valued by employers in many industries.
