What Is The Job Outlook In BC?

The employment outlook is good for early childhood educators and assistants in British Columbia for the 2022-2024 period.

Many job openings will result from high worker turnover (due to the low pay and the physically and emotionally challenging nature of the work). In addition, the B.C. government has committed to significantly increase the number of child-care spaces across the province. As a result, 8,600 more early childhood educators will likely be needed over the next decade.

Rural areas continue to have a shortage of qualified workers. You will be especially high demand if you are certified to work with children with special needs, infants or toddlers.
