Training
Every year we seek dedicated individuals who wish to become educators, social education assistants, or special education teachers (all genders welcome) and offer high-quality training. There are now many pathways to obtaining these qualifications, which can be easily tailored to individual backgrounds. A good overview of the available options can be found at the Mölln Vocational Training Center (BBZ), with which we have a close partnership: http://www.bbzmoelln.de/bildungsangebot/nach-berufsfeldern/sozialpaedagogik/. We particularly welcome career changers and people from diverse cultural backgrounds. A shared foundation in the form of sound training is enriched by different life experiences and perspectives. This generally benefits the entire team. This is how our trainees themselves see it:
Tina Brauer (trainee started in 2020): “I would always choose the practice-integrated training to become an early childhood educator again, because the contract with the sponsoring organization makes me a fully-fledged team member. And I would always do my training with Montessori Nord gGmbH again, because the regular meetings and the number of trainees ensure I always have a good network.”
Ina Bohmke (training started August 2022 - blended learning): "Through the experience I've had with my own three children and the understanding of how important kindergarten is for children's development, I decided about a year ago to change careers and become a kindergarten teacher. At Montessori, I found a modern organization that provides excellent support and guidance during my blended learning training, allowing me to be happy and satisfied and to integrate everything well into my family life."
