Objective
Baby and childcare services are constantly developing and diversifying and a new occupational profile has emerged: the flexible early childcare worker who is capable of adapting to any and every situation possible. They have to be prepared to take care of children on their own or in groups, when they are accompanied by a family member, in different locations (such as at day-care or at home), and at different times for varying lengths of time. This pilot project aims to provide training for trainers and to determine which instruments are necessary to teach childcare workers all these skills at the beginning of their studies.
This pilot project will begin by drawing up an inventory of the actions undertaken in the three partner countries in the area of vocational training for staff working with children aged zero to three. It will also concern day-care workers, childcare assistants, baby-sitters and home-care workers. The next step will be to examine the essential skills for a trainer in the area of new babyhood services and to create a common curriculum and a methodology for training interventions using multimedia tools such as CD-ROMs. It will end by identifying available training centres in each partner country to test this type of training.
Impact
This project will help develop the position of the flexible childcare worker: one single occupational figure with a series of different skills.
