Become a pedagogical assistant trainee in 2027 – and make a real difference in children's lives

Are you ready to develop yourself, take responsibility and be an important adult in the daily lives of children and young people? Then maybe you are the one we are looking for as one of our new pedagogical assistant apprentices starting on January 25, 2027.

An education with meaning

As a pedagogical assistant apprentice you will receive an education where theory and practice go hand in hand. The program lasts 2 years and 1.5 months – or shorter if you have relevant prerequisites.

You will receive

• A fixed training site in Halsnæs Municipality
• A clear progression in your training periods, so that in your first training period you are in a nursery (vuggestue), in the second training period in a kindergarten and in the third training period in school/SFO or the special education area
• A training supervisor on the workplace and an education consultant who follows you all the way
• Salary throughout the training – both during apprenticeship and at school
• Possibility of adult apprentice wage, if you are over 25 years old and have relevant experience
• Job guarantee in Halsnæs Municipality after completing the education.

At Halsnæs Municipality we place great emphasis on our students' wellbeing and development. We know that one learns best when one feels welcome and supported along the way, and no one can know everything from the start. Therefore we prioritize presence, guidance and a safe learning environment where there is room to learn, ask questions and develop. This is also reflected in our student satisfaction, where the students among other things highlight the good reception, the engaged mentors/guides and the experience of being taken seriously as a student.

We ensure that you are well equipped both academically and personally, so you can stand strong in the role of pedagogical assistant.
