Dear ECE Colleagues,
Please join us on Friday, October 9, from 10:00–11:30 a.m. to learn about the Workforce Pathways LA Career & College Advisement Toolkit and explore how it can support your work with ECE students.
Building on the legacy of the Investing in Early Educators Stipend Program (AB 212), Workforce Pathways LA is a comprehensive workforce development model that works in partnership with Quality Start Los Angeles (QSLA). The program supports early educators as they move along the career lattice, with a focus on:
- Licensing, health, and safety
- Professional development, permits, and degrees
- Workforce systems improvement
Workforce Pathways LA also provides financial incentives for achieving career and educational milestones, along with professional development and career advisement for early educators across a variety of settings.
As part of this work, Workforce Pathways LA developed the Career & College Advisement Toolkit to support the early care and education field.
During our October 9 session, we will explore how the resources in the Toolkit can be used when advising students about coursework, degrees, permits, and ECE career pathways. We also want to hear from you: What additional resources would make the Toolkit more useful to you and the students you advise?
You are welcome to review the Toolkit prior to our meeting:
