The task
Profile and challenges
Lack of childcare workers: The labour market in the day-care sector is highly competitive
Characterised by high demand and a lack of workers
Requirements: Christian faith, relevant experience and enrolled in a related subject
‘jobvalley was recommended to us. We had a great feeling right from the very start. A successful pilot project went above and beyond our positive expectations.’
Why jobvalley?
We already managed to achieve what other providers were unable to during the pilot phase: filling vacancies in a short period of time. As part of our recurring order, we now support over 20 day-care centres with pedagogical assistants. Over 30 students were hired by the diocese in 2019.
Demand rose even higher in 2020 and 2021. At one point, we needed to fill over 20 vacant positions. A great opportunity for our students to get involved and gain valuable experience.
Outcome and future perspectives
The partnership between jobvalley and the Diocese of Limburg has been a great success: The child day-care centres have highly benefited from the great quality of our applicants and motivated employees. In addition, the students get to take on specialised work and gain flexibility – all for an attractive wage.
We’re currently expanding the project. Even though standard requirements call for the recruitment of specialised professionals, the partnership with jobvalley has proven to be a great alternative when we face a lack of skilled workers.
