Access to ECE Research Project

This research study will examine the factors that influence employability in early childhood for foreign trained educators. It will investigate specifically if foreign undergraduate training in early education and professional experience outside Canada has an impact on the type of employment gained and what the barriers and supports are in finding employment and professional satisfaction.

The research study brings together a community consortium including the Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario (AECEO) working on bridging immigrant women into the Canadian workforce, described below, and the Atkinson Centre at OISE.
