This qualification reflects the role of educators in early childhood education and care who work in regulated children’s education and care services in Australia. They support children’s wellbeing, and development in the context of an approved learning framework. Educators use a range of well-developed skills and knowledge using discretion and judgment when carrying out their work in the context of established policies and procedures. They may work independently or under the guidance of others, though in some contexts that guidance may not be on-site.
Early childhood educators work in long day care centres, family day care, pre-schools or kindergartens

At the International College of Victoria (ICV), we are dedicated to providing you with the practical experience needed to excel in your chosen field. A key component of this commitment is our Work Placement (WP) program, which offers you the invaluable opportunity to apply your skills in a real-world professional setting.
We believe that sourcing your own Work Placement is a developmental exercise that builds confidence and networking skills. Therefore, we strongly encourage all students to proactively seek out and secure their own placements. This independent approach allows you to find a host organization that aligns perfectly with your career aspirations and personal interests.
To support you in this endeavor, ICV provides comprehensive guidance and assistance. Our dedicated team will equip you with the necessary tools and resources to identify suitable opportunities and present yourself professionally to potential employers.
In cases where students face challenges in securing a placement independently, ICV will leverage its extensive network of industry partnerships to facilitate a suitable placement.
For instances where a placement cannot be secured through our direct partnerships, we engage the specialized services of trusted third-party providers, SkilTrak and/or The Learning Collaborative (TLC), to ensure every student has access to a quality work placement opportunity. A fee of $190 will be applicable for placements arranged through these external partners. This fee covers the administrative and service costs associated with their comprehensive placement services.
Our primary goal is to ensure every ICV student gains the vital industry experience needed for a successful career transition. We are committed to working together with you to achieve this milestone.
