What
is a registered apprenticeship?
Registered Apprenticeship is a training system that
produces highly skilled child care providers. An apprenticeship

and on-the-job training. This opportunity is for professionals
new to the field of early care and education and for
those already in the field seeking to advance themselves.

· 4000 hours of on-the-job training
· 288 hours of related instruction
· Support from a trained supervisor
· 100% tuition and books paid
· A nationally recognized Child Development Specialist
(CDS) Registered Apprenticeship Certificate
As a job site supervisor you
gain:
· Continuously trained and motivated staff
· An opportunity to be a role model by sharing
your knowledge and skills.
