This assignment has assisted me preparing and locating
employment at the national and federal levels.
On the NAECY website, I noted a job as a Project Manager. Qualifications for this position are the
candidate must have a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, three years
working in an early childhood program, five years of international experience
and three years of supervisory experience.
Also, the position requires training experience, communication and
writing experience. The requirement for
the job that I was most enthused about was the having the availability to
travel internationally. That sounds like
something that I would love to do.
My search also brought me to an employment opportunity for an
On-Call Early Childhood Education Specialist to work within their Education,
Community & Social Programs Division (ECSP). This specialist would
work closely with military families to ensure that the services requested are delivered
as sought. Qualifications for this
position are a Master’s degree in early childhood education or a related field
of study, five or more years of experience working in a military early
childhood setting, ten years of experience with providing content knowledge on
early childhood programs, curriculum standards, assessment, proficiency with
Microsoft Office software and experience working with multiple
stakeholders.
Finally, I found a position for an Education
Specialist. This government job had very
broad qualifications; it appeared that most of the employment opportunities
sought either educational or field experience.
All postings for this agency had similar wording for the job
qualifications. This position is described
as professional work for educational related programs that improves American
education.

Hi Yolanda,
ReplyDeleteThe position working with military families sounds like a great opportunity to give back to those who have given so much. It would be so rewarding to provide the families with the services they seek. It would also be a rich environment for you to learn because of the diversity of people and what they have to offer.
I think NAECY is a wonderful program. Thanks for the info on the Project Manager. Maybe when I complete the Masters Program I will give this position some thought. Thanks: Stephanie Rickenbacker
DeleteDear Yolonda,
ReplyDeleteWorking in international settings gives you really valuable experiences regarding different cultures and their educational system. I had the opportunity of working in the Middle East and with families from different countries and it has been a great asset for me and has helped me see things from different viewpoints. Thank you for your post
