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.

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. As a U.S. Department of Labor (U.S. DOL)-funded Early Childhood Education Intermediary, ECWC provides customized technical assistance, including help with curriculum development, outreach and recruitment, mentor training, accessing available funding, and much more!

Happy Anniversary to the National Apprenticeship Act! Today, we celebrate the landmark legislation that has empowered millions of Americans with the skills and training needed for rewarding careers. Since its enactment in 1937, the National Apprenticeship Act has been instrumental in promoting workforce development, bridging the skills gap, and fostering economic growth. This act allowed the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to issue regulations protecting the health, safety, and welfare of apprentices and preventing discrimination in apprenticeship programs. At WRMA, we are proud to support initiatives that expand apprenticeship opportunities, especially in early childhood education. We work with the DOL to expand Registered Apprenticeship programs in early childhood education through the Early Childhood Workforce Connector.
