Early Childhood Workforce

We are building a workforce of qualified teachers that represent the children and families they serve.

In collaboration with Community Education Network, we provide a pathway for individuals to gain state and national credentials in Early Childhood Education.

Our apprenticeship programs include workshops that build professional development and employability skills, as well as provide wrap-around services for participants in need of additional support. Through our program, individuals will receive state and nationally recognized certifications and credentials in early childhood development and are exposed

to all industry-related careers such as speech pathology, nutrition, physical therapy, and mental health. ITAV’s Early Childhood Workforce programs also seek to expose individuals of color to these professions where there is a critical need for diversity in providers.

After receiving my Childhood Development Associate credential through the Early Childhood Workforce program at ITAV, I realized how much I love learning about children and think I want to pursue getting my Masters in Child Development.
