In Perth and across Australia, the demand for early childhood educators has never been higher. With population growth, more working parents, and increased government investment in early learning, quality childcare services are in constant need of skilled professionals. The first five years of a child’s life are crucial for brain development, and families are seeking educators who can provide nurturing, stimulating, and safe environments.

The Western Australian jobs market consistently lists early childhood roles among the top in-demand positions, offering job stability, competitive salaries, and opportunities for career progression. Whether it’s working in childcare centres, kindergartens, or as a family day care provider, qualified educators are essential in shaping the next generation.

At Aroha College, we make it simple to start your journey. We offer nationally recognised courses such as:

• CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care

Our programs blend classroom learning with hands-on practical placements in real early learning settings. You’ll gain both the theory and real-world experience needed to thrive in the industry. We also provide flexible study options to suit your lifestyle, and our friendly trainers guide you every step of the way—from enrolment to graduation.

In addition to accredited courses, Aroha College also offers non-accredited short courses designed to build essential skills for working with children. One example is our Child at Risk program, which equips learners with the knowledge and awareness to identify and respond appropriately to children in vulnerable situations. These short courses are perfect for upskilling, meeting workplace requirements, or simply expanding your professional expertise.

Once you complete your training at Aroha College, you’ll be ready to step into the workforce with confidence. You can expect:

• Diverse career options – from educator roles to leadership positions.

• High employability – thanks to strong industry demand in Perth and beyond.

• Real impact – the opportunity to help children develop essential life skills, creativity, and confidence.

Many of our graduates secure employment even before they finish their course, thanks to the connections built during practical placements.

Best of all, you’re not alone when it comes to finding your first role. Aroha Services, our sister company, specialises in recruitment and staffing across multiple industries including health care, disability support, hospitality, and construction. They’ll work with you to match your skills and training to the right opportunity, so you can move from graduation to employment with ease.
