Clackamas Workforce Partnership

Expanding opportunity starts with inclusion. The early childhood field, predominantly made up of Black and Brown women, has historically been underfunded, leaving many talented educators without the support they deserve. Early childhood Registered Apprenticeship programs are changing that. These programs provide opportunities for educators to start and grow their careers, offering hands-on training, mentorship, and pathways to career advancement—helping to build a more equitable future for the workforce behind the workforce. Discover how apprenticeships are transforming early childhood career opportunities from our recorded webinar “Opportunities and Pathways: Exploring Careers in Early Childhood Education by Embracing RA”: https://lnkd.in/gqDcj7KS #NAW2024 #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #ECEWorkforce #ECE #EarlyChildhood #RegisteredApprenticeship #WorkforceDevelopment #InnovationInEducation #ApprenticeshipUSA
