About us
The Early Childhood Workforce Connector (ECWC) promotes developing, launching, and expanding Registered Apprenticeship (RA) programs to support and sustain a diverse, inclusive, well-qualified, and well-compensated early childhood education (ECE) workforce. ECE RA programs assist child care centers and other early childhood education employers in creating high quality, accessible, supportive, and equitable care and work environments that help lift the entire community and the local workforce. A strong, inclusive, and robust early childhood ecosystem contributes to the health and well-being of young children and their families, as well as the broader economy.

Today we’re celebrating Lights On Afterschool, shining a spotlight on the critical role afterschool programs play in shaping young minds. Afterschool programs provide a safe space for kids to explore, learn, and grow outside of regular school hours. These programs provide children with the opportunity to build new skills and parents with the support they need to balance work and child care. Early childhood Registered Apprenticeship programs help expand the impact of after school programs by preparing the next generation of early childhood educators. By strengthening the early childhood workforce, we’re ensuring that afterschool programs continue to thrive and provide quality care and education for children. Let’s celebrate the educators, apprentices, and mentors who make afterschool programs brighter! #LightsOnAfterschool #ECEWorkforce #RegisteredApprenticeship #WorkforceDevelopment #AfterschoolMatters #InnovationInEducation #ApprenticeshipUSA
