�Opportunities to Serve Targeted Populations

Training sponsors needed for Senior ECE Job Project - Carol Larson

Stanford Center on Longevity (SCL) is promoting and evaluating recruitment of persons over 50 to help fill vacant positions in early childhood settings and in TK classrooms.

Three small pilots are underway in Fresno, Santa Cruz, and Los Angeles.

Community colleges can be great places to recruit older ECE students for training and internships as preparation for jobs in the ECE field.

To learn more, see this article in SCL’s June newsletter.

Regional Joint Venture: Monterey Bay Pathways to Education - Regional Strong Workforce Funds for ECE/EDU - Michele Peregrin and Bronwyn Moreno

Regional Joint Ventures Overview

The purpose of RJVs is to provide seed funding for regional projects that are innovative and sustainable. Supports the start up costs with the idea that participating colleges will sustain it (from their Regional SWP funds or other sources).
Must include multiple colleges/partnerships.

Monterey Bay Subregional Pathways to Education Project

Create transparent, streamlined pathways in the Education Sector in the subregion.
A task force, consisting of representatives from K12s, community colleges, UCs and CSUs, will collaborate on clearly articulated paths to permits, certifications, and credentials.
Creation of a cross-institutional data tracking system, communication protocols, and an equity-centered subregional implementation plan that can serve as a model.
First RJV with all participating colleges in one subregion.

Monterey Bay Subregional Pathways to Education

This project will foster subregional efforts to create transparent, streamlined pathways in the Education Sector. A task force will collaborate on the potential for more flexible but clearly articulated paths to permits, certifications, and credentials. A systemic approach, including best practices from current and former programs, will more adequately and equitably address labor market gaps, build capacity, and expand critical pathway partnerships between high schools, community colleges, UCs, and CSUs.

This project will create an equity-centered, subregional task force to collectively impact recruitment and accelerate student success metrics in education pathways. The task force would be composed of representatives from our subregion’s community colleges (Hartnell, MPC, Cabrillo, and Gavilan), members from four-year institutions (UCSC, CSUMB, and SJSU), and community stakeholders. The partnership will dismantle institutional barriers and construct aligned pathways for dual enrollment, traditional, and working students, consistent with Guided Pathways and equity-based initiatives. It will focus on creating equitable systems for student recruitment, retention, and completion, and seamless transitions between local higher ed institutions.

The task force will address fragmentation in the subregion and bolster capacity through efficient systems. The primary outcome is to create a subregional implementation plan with shared capacity that could serve as a model for other subregions and the state. The aim is to:

Create a shared vision
Determine areas of shared capacity and expertise
Identify strengths and obstacles within our subregion
Prioritize needs
Create cross-institutional communication protocols
Establish clearly aligned and articulated pathways
Determine baseline data to measure progress
Create a cross-institutional data tracking system
Build a subregional website
Create a sustainable Community of Practice

We hope to get started in October!

The Origin - CCPU Training Fund - SEIU/AFSCME/UDW

The CCPU Training Fund grew out of a historic partnership between family child care providers and the state of California. After 17 years of struggle, family childcare providers successfully unionized with Child Care Providers United (CCPU) in 2020. CCPU brought together UDW/AFSCME Local 3930 and SEIU Locals 99 and 521, and negotiated a first contract with the state of California in 2021 that included substantial funding for worker-centered professional development.

CCPU has funded the SEIU Education & Support Fund (ESF) to develop the innovative and worker-centered CCPU Training Fund. Working hand-in-hand with CCPU and the state of California, the CCPU Training Fund has been funded to develop and deliver provider- led trainings on business development and child development, a registered apprenticeship program, a peer coaching support network, hardware needed for providers to access online workshops, and more.

Every step of the way, family childcare providers have been at the forefront of deciding how the CCPU Training Fund will take shape to meet our most pressing needs.
