Apprenticeship programs support individuals who want to enter the early care and education (ECE) field, as well as ECE professionals seeking to advance their education with credentials, certificates, or degrees. Apprenticeship creates a pipeline of talented and high-quality educators, increasing the ECE workforce and providing opportunity for growth within the field. Classroom instruction, on-the-job training, and mentorship with reflective supervision enhance this career pathway.
Local Partnerships in purple have adopted Apprenticeship (effective July 1, 2026). Local Partnership contact information can be found here.
