The early childhood workforce plays a critical role in supporting children and families, yet remains poorly compensated and under resourced. As policymakers look to improve the quality and wages of this sector, some are incorporating the established workforce strategy of registered apprenticeships. Drawing together unique partnerships across early childhood education, workforce, and higher education, registered apprenticeships are a promising practice with the potential to meaningfully advance the early learning workforce.

On February 20, please join BPC for our webcast event on how registered apprenticeships can move forward the skills and compensation of the early childhood workforce as part of a diverse professional development system.
