Building Career Pipelines: Early Care & Education Youth Apprenticeship Programs

ECEPTS is nationally recognized for pioneering efforts in creating and sustaining Registered Apprenticeships for the Early Care and Education (ECE) industry. Registered ECE Youth Apprenticeship programs provide work-based learning, paid employment, college credit, and industry-recognized credentials. Upon graduation from high school, participants are eligible to assume full-time positions in early learning centers and childcare programs. As well, ECE Youth Apprenticeships provide foundational training and education for a variety of career pathways (e.g., Child Care, Early Intervention, Expanded Learning, Head Start, Home Visitation, Pre-Kindergarten, Social Services). In this live webinar, members of the ECEPTS team discuss the recently launched ECEPTS Youth Apprenticeship program that is a collaboration with multiple high schools across the Oakland Unified School District in California.
