Hello,everyone!

I'm going to studying cert 3 in children's services next month.I really want to work at child care.I applied childcare trainee couple months ago, but the agent ask me to do the cert 3 first.so I apply childcare course at TAFE.

I have a question.When do you start to look for a job during you study?In the middle of study or finish study?

can give me some suggest?

Thank you.

HI Lizzie Lee

I would put it out there that I was interested in casual work while you are studying - it will show you are keen and also help you with your assignments.

You may find it hard to get in somewhere without previous experience but even if you try volunteering somewhere (you will need you WWC and police clearance though)

It will be really helpful for you to get some work in the industry

Hi Liz,

Welcome to Aussie Childcare Network!

I find it strange that the agent asked you not to do a traineeship. Do you know why she asked you to complete a cert 3 first? If you were to do a traineeship, you can work and study at the same time and also get experience working in a childcare centre.

It's not a problem to get your cert 3 first without having to do a traineeship. You are able to work while completing your traineeship you just need to apply at different centres and let them know that you are currently studying.

I'm not sure what your diploma in computing has to do with your childcare traineeship. However, I do think you need to be an Australian resident to apply for a traineeship.

Anyways, you do have other options e.g. TAFE to get your cert 3, so no worries!
