DESCRIPTION:The National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB) is hosting a webinar on What Works in Workforce\, and Can I Afford it? on Tuesday\, September 16th\, starting at 2:00 PM. \nAs they develop strategic plans and set funding priorities\, workforce development boards must prioritize strategies that have the greatest impact and return on investment.

SUMMARY:National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB): No Childcare = No Workforce: The Economic Imperative of Early Childhood Education
DESCRIPTION:National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB) is hosting a webinar on No Child Care = No Workforce: The Economic Imperative of Early Childhood Education on Tuesday\, June 17th\, starting at 2:00 PM. \nAccess to affordable\, high-quality childcare is an economic imperative. Without it\, parents cannot work\, employers cannot operate efficiently\, and communities cannot grow. Despite its essential role\, early childhood education (ECE) remains underfunded\, leading to low wages\, limited benefits\, and high turnover rates among the ECE workforce. These hallmarks of poor job quality have left the workforce system in a quandary – how do we invest in this critical infrastructure without tanking our performance measures? One proven solution is Registered Apprenticeship. Registered Apprenticeship programs in ECE train and upskill new and incumbent childcare workers\, offering them the opportunity to earn a wage while gaining the credentials they need to advance and succeed in the childcare industry. Join us for a conversation about how to connect the dots between employers\, workers\, and the childcare industry to advance effective strategies\, such as Registered Apprenticeship\, to solve the childcare crisis. \nClick here to learn more and register.
