SUMMARY:Child Care Apprenticeships Webinar
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDING HERE\nFacts: \nAdults without access to quality childcare face significant challenges in gaining employment to support their family. \nMany industries in Maryland – including the childcare industry – face significant challenges in identifying qualified workers to fill open positions. \nAccording to Indeed.com’s career guide\, babysitting and working at childcare facilities are among the top jobs for high school students. \nWhat does all of this mean for childcare employers? \nHigh school students and adults interested in early childhood education are ideal pools of talent/workforce for childcare employers. \nThrough youth and registered apprenticeships\, employers can build their talent pipeline through a credentialed career path in the childcare sector. \nRecent Maryland policies and legislation will support growth in and access to childcare careers and apprenticeships. \nHow can a childcare employer do this and potentially receive financial incentives for doing so? By becoming an apprenticeship sponsor with support from the MD Dept. of Labor\, high school and college partners\, and MAC! \nJoin us for this informational webinar to learn: \nWhat it means to be a youth or registered apprentice in the childcare industry. \nMore information on the benefits for a childcare employer in leveraging youth and/or registered apprenticeship into their recruitment and retention strategies. \nResources available to help Maryland childcare employers through the apprenticeship process. \nFinancial incentives that may be available to offset costs for sponsoring a youth and/or registered childcare apprenticeship program. \nSuccess stories from a Maryland childcare provider and apprenticeship practitioners. \nPanel discussion participants to date include: \nModerator: Edna Primrose\, Business Development and Partnerships\, Maryland Apprenticeship Connector \nChris Peusch\, Executive Director\, Maryland State Childcare Association \nTony Wohlers\, Dean of Behavioral & Social Sciences\, Harford Community College \nBronwyn Bates\, Workforce Program Manager\, Howard Community College \nAlicia Fales\, Supervisor\, School to Career Transition\, Baltimore County Public Schools  \nLogan Dean\, Program Manager – Maryland Apprenticeship & Training Program\, Maryland Department of Labor
