Trained early childhood educators are currently in demand. In the 2018/2019 Critical Occupations List, Early Childhood Educators made it to the list for the first time and were ranked 29 out of the 59 skilled occupations very much sought after by Malaysian employers.
When it comes to caring for and educating young children, it’s not enough to have just the passion and love for them. It is essential for early childhood practitioners to be equipped with the relevant knowledge and skillset; and that they have the right qualifications.
