Sydney Montessori Training Centre

Employment Opportunities with Training Sponsorship

Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for financial contribution to training!

On occasion, a School or centre within our Montessori community may be in the position to offer a full or partial training sponsorship with the prospect of, or commitment to, employment at course completion or during the course. 

There are several Montessori schools who are currently prepared to provide sponsorship for all or part of the tuition fees for one or more of the upcoming 12-18, 6-12, 3-6 and 0-3 AMI Diplomas.

The sponsorship would usually be linked to a commitment to work at the school either during and/or after completion of the AMI Diploma. The actual arrangements vary from school to school.

Considered applicants would have to have rights to work in Australia, albeit some schools may consider overseas applicants and this will be noted in their job advertisements.

Interested applicants should contact the organisations directly.

Sponsorship opportunities will be advertised here.
